[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1874430, member: 111854"] You are right, if you don’t put any value on the time it takes to reload, you might come out a head. A lot of people don’t count the cost of brass. Nor do they count the cost of having to develop a new load every time you get a new lot of bullets or powder or switch powder or change bullets. I have all the reloading equipment - I don’t love the process. If you shoot weatherby’s or RUMs or Normas or Lapuas, I agree - you could come out ahead financially, barely if you don’t care about your time. But if you are reloading for a 6.5 cm or 308 or 7mm or 300wm, there is no way you come out ahead financially. Also, I can’t help but feel you die hard reloaders are probably stuck in the past when all that was available is some old school remington soft points that got you 5” groups at 100. Times have changed. If you do it because you love it and it is a hobby, I think that is fantastic. I would rather spend that couple hours at the range instead of the reloading bench. [/QUOTE]
