[Shootest]

I enjoy reloading so I don’t think I can consider the time I spend as an expense, any more than I could the time I spend talking to my children or watching a good movie or even eating dinner for that matter.
The equipment/tools will last a lifetime, for the most part, so I don’t see the need to pay for them in one year. Most of my equipment is over 15 years old and has paid for it‘s self long ago, in fact some of it could be sold today for a higher price than I paid for it. I bought a new Dillon XL650 w/case feeder for $549.00 and could sell it today for much more.
I cast my own hand gun bullets (I know more time spent) for about $0.03 each, bringing the cost of a box of ammo down considerably.
I know for a fact that the ammo I load shoots better than the cheap stuff, making the cost impossible to compare.
Happy Loading
