I think a lot of wether or not you reload depends on wether you are shooting a bunch of rounds a year or just a hand full. I have all the equipment to load for my .450 marlin (brass, dies, etc), but seldom shoot twenty rounds a year. I know folks that hunt with some exotic calibers, and a box of ammo lasts them two or three years, so why bother? Myself, I'm an experimenter, so I do reload a lot. Plus in some rounds I shoot, there is no ammo made on the planet. So you gotta load your own.

I am actually new to this idea of posts. Saw some of my folks using something similar a time or two.

I stated I load for 8 or 9 different cartirdges but then was thinking just rifle not handgun so it gets pretty steep then.

I sometimes think about the news media when they put a guy up that has a couple of guns and five or six boxes of ammo and regard him as a radical.

That must mean I am my own country or independent army or something. I worry about that ...... and then in a minute or so I get over it.

Look forward to this.
