It really depends on what you're shooting. For my MAK-90 (7.62x39), my .223, the .40SW, shotguns, etc, I wouldn't waste the grey matter thinking about reloading. But for my 6mm and 7mm, it's A) the only way I can afford to feed 'em... and B) the best way I can keep a 1000+ meter targets recieving new holes reliably. Aside from that, it's a fun hobby, a great way to kill time, and my son enjoys doing it with me. It gets him that much more involved in shooting as a whole. It has a certain amount of self-gratification behind the idea of spending the afternoon at the range firing loads YOU put together.
