Re: Why reload?

I shoot several milsurp rifles and reloading is about the only way I can afford to shoot them.

30-06 M1 Garand
7.5x55 Swiss
303 British

Factory ammo runs about $0.80 to $1.20 and I can reload for around $0.40-0.45

I am also loading a lot of 38spl and now I'm working in 44mag as well. The 38 I load for fun target ammo and the 44mag I'm trying to dial in a hunting load and just to play around with.

I can do 5.56 NATO plinking ammo for my AR15 at about $0.20 per round.

For me it is all about cost and I keep my setup very small using an RCBS single stage press. I got a hefty work bonus a while back and bought the RCBS digital scale and powder dispenser as a gift to myself which I love.
