Agreed in all particulars, Evan, especially,
Besides after this many years, it seems that I shoot so I can reload more.
A recent shooting enthusiast recntly asked me how much money I SAVE by handloading. I had to admit, probably none at all--I just get a LOT more shooting done for the same amount of money spent.
While I occasionally like to work up new loads for a rifle, I end up doing a lot of running back and forth between range and loading bench. The truth is, I really like to shoot, but cannot afford to shoot large batches of factory ammo.
By far the majority of my loading time is spent in loading handgun ammo that closely duplicates factory ammo. In three matches and at one LE range in the past two weeks. I probably used 400 rounds of handloads, plus rimfires. There's no way I could regularly spend that kind of money on factory stuff.
All the best,
Johnny
