I agree,And I believe that if you have a specific purpose for handloading than do it,,Until you do wait.LIke already said buy the books and read and study them.If you wan't to try long range or a specific hunting need That is deffinetly reason to handload.For plinking I would just buy wolf or something cheap..I shoot long range and use 77-80gr SMK's, the only ammo to compare is black hills and they are more money than What I can handload for,and also they can't do what my handloads can do because I can adjust seating depths and powder charges,etc,etc,to what my barrel likes..Handloading is very addictive but you have to be very humble to do it safe.Over confidence is the worst thing
