Other reasons to reload shotgun shells: buckshot, slugs, magnum field loads and steel shot. You don't need a $500 Ponsness-Warren progressive to start. Lee makes a decent loader (currently being discussed) for about $35. I can reload a box of shells in about 20 minutes on mine. I seldom have "setup time" because I shoot the same load over and over!
If people value their time, I really don't see much savings at all in all but specialty reloading. I reload because I have more time than money.
