I would reload for my SKS, but finding components right now is difficult, and my SKS ejects cases all over the south 40 and finding them to reload would be quite a problem (I shoot outdoors in dirt/gravel). Last time I shot it I tried to recover the spent steel cases and only found about half of what I shot. Not good enough return for me to reload good brass...
