I have only been loading for a little over a year, so some of the things you guys have mentioned I have yet to experience.

The best feature of handloading (rifle or pistol) is bettering what you could do with factory, cheaper than you shot with factory loads. I bought my Remington 700 in 22-250 cheap because it wouldn't shoot. Recently, using my loads, it shot 1/4 moa three groups of four.

The worst feature would have to be the hours spent hand preping the rifle brass. The pistol rounds are loaded on a Dillon SDB, so there is little other than checking the brass for failures (almost nonexistant with the .45) and length. The rifle brass is much more work, and measuring each powder charge sucks. (But the results don't!)
