[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 2080038, member: 105459"] [I][B]I honestly do not think that you can look at this from a strictly monetary perspective. $$$$$ There is a certain peace of mind and satisfaction that comes, from the placement of a hand-loaded bullet that you send it downrange and then finds its mark. That experience in itself is simply priceless. (ie POA = POI)[/B] Unless you have experienced it first hand there is a very comforting and as well as relaxing feeling that one gets simply by rolling your own ammunition. Picture this analogy if you will. You can purchase a plain jane automobile without all the bells and whistles or you can buy the most expensive SUV with everything included. True indeed that both will get you to your destination, but one may leave you with a cramped and uncomfortable feeling while the other will literally get you there in style. So you truly do get what you pay for. The choice is yours as there are so many goodies out there that you can literally break the bank. Just ask most of the others following this site. (myself included) What I am eluding to is that by simple as the judicious selection of components you will do yourself proud knowing that your new equipment purchases will serve you well over your lifetime. The dark side of this is that someone will always tout that you need this or that in order to be the best crack shot ever. What I am trying to say is that don't always fall for that hype. Rather do your own research drawing your own conclusions. There are informed as well as knowledgeable persons who are subscribers to this website and will impart their wisdom. If you have a question or unsure about a specific item all you need to do is ask. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of products available to help you hone your reloading skills., Just some items will perform better than others Do your homework analyzing your needs before making any purchases. (You will never go wrong if you purchase your reloading presses and dies from notable companies such as Redding, RCBS, Hornady, Forster & Lyman to name a few) Handloading ammunition is only half the equation. Proving your loads out is the other half. That however is reserved for a later discussion! (Low E.S, S.D.numbers and of course Chronographs to record it all) In closing, I could never place a price tag on the many hours I've happily spent reloading. Satisfaction and Pride[B] Yes,[/B] but a dollar figure Never! Hope this helps. Yes, prices have skyrocketed out of control and will only continue to go higher, so purchase what you can when you can. With that thought now is the time to start doing research and making as many informed purchases as possible. Again simply stated, "They ain't gonna get any Cheaper no time soon ". It's the law of supply and demand.[/I] [/QUOTE]
