Rusty-
I started out reloading to save money too, but you are right. It goes way beyond the comfort level of my bank account. It is difficult to put a monetary value on my sanity. When I'm at the bench, it requires all of my attention, so everything else just fades into the background (work, chores around the house, general worries, etc). I have also gained a great interest in making 5 shots go through the same hole over the last couple of years, so I'm starting to go in pretty deep. Aftermarket barrels with custom chambers, neck turning, triggers that are measured in oz. insted of lb., etc.
Funny how reloading has brought me to be interested in accurate shooting, instead of the opposite. But then again, I tend to do everything bass-ackwards.
