I find handloading to be a relaxing activity.
The only part I don't like is having to smear lube on every cartridge.
A set of carbide dies (no more lube), some brass, a few primers, and a keg o powder and you can shoot much cheaper. Don't forget the cheapo lee press that works great.
Of course there is that initial set up cost. Who cares? Are you in it for the long haul or just because you decided you wanted something to shoot once a year? Besides, when you roll your own you can load for your gun, instead of being limited to doggy factory loads.
I was lucky enough to have a good family member really get me into reloading. I haven't looked back since, nor would I consider. If you can find someone who is willing to show you a couple of things it will make all the difference in the world.
Just start handloading. Thank me for the advice later.
