[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2370660, member: 63925"] I tie my own trout flies, fletch up and adjust FOC for my own arrows, adjust and make my own trolling spoons, tie my own trolling salmon flies, so reloading is just another means for me "make" what I use. Heck, started building (assembling) rifles to get exactly what I want. My fav rifle is the .270Win (Thors Hammer) that has 0.290 freebore to shoot the 156HH that I wanted to shoot. Reloading IMO, adds in a personalization to the hunt or target that you cannot achieve with factory. There is a sense of personal satisfaction that is unique when you shoot your own loads. Cost? This is a hobby or addiction that if you shoot a lot, the ONLY means to do so is to reload. I bought 5K each FM210 and FM215 primers in 2019 at $39/K so way ahead of costs today. Plenty of brass and good selection of bullets. Yes, shooting Hammers so they add to cost but the total cost is still far below factory AND the loads are rifle specific for best performance I can achieve. When you belly up to the "reloading bar", you can order from "bar shelf" or go top shelf. Its your choice. Factory ammo is similar for performance at SAAMI chamber where you can buy bar shelf ammo or premium ammo which may shoot fine at SAAMI. If you do not shoot that much, heck yeah, why reload? I enjoy the shooting sport, the reloading aspect to customizing load to specific rifle and purpose and the satisfaction from it. The cost IMO, is offset from the total enjoyment I get from shooting my rifles with a custom load. If you have $$$ custom rifles, you already have the anal attentive addiction that takes you down the reloading rabbit hole. [/QUOTE]
