[QUOTE="Deleted member 112174, post: 1820260"] I started reloading shotgun shells for my dad before I was old enough to hunt. I bought my first rifle, a Ruger 77 in 30-06( for 197 dollars) when I was 21. A college professor told me I could make better ammo than store bought and cheaper too. I started with Lake City brass and a Lee Loader. I once bought 2 boxes of rifle shells at the same time and they shot to very different groups. Unacceptable to me, I now reload for every firearm I have. I enjoy knowing my rifle/ammo are precise and accurate even though I work to shoot at close range. With Pet Loads UPdate on a .300 savage, it is a deadly combo and very accurate. I have a .35 Whelen that shoots 5/8 inch groups. All this a far less than factory prices. (I don't figure my time because I enjoy doing it and for me to travel to gun shops with good variety I have to drive 1.5 hours.) With reloaded ammo, I shoot more and that is always good. [/QUOTE]
