I have just gotten into reloading myself, and this was my excuse. I am now kicking myself for not trying it sooner.

I was also afraid of the expense of getting started, but again, I was wrong about that too.

I am taking greater pride in hunting and actually killing my quarry with ammo that I "made" myself.

I started out only going to reload for my 270 WCF, but I have now added 22-250, 308, and 9.3x62.

When I was younger I needed that part-time job to add to my income. I was a young married man with two kids. I found a job at the local skeet and trap range doing everything from pulling to filling the houses. Naturally since the skeet range sold reloads I learned how to reload shotgun shells.

When I first started shooting skeet a few years later my boss at the time showed me how to save even more by showing me all the bald spots of dirt in the fields where ALL that reclaimed shot could be gotten. I still have 25 pounds. How many skeet shooters you know even went so far as to pick up used wads and wash them and reuse them too? And it has progressed from there to rifles.

I cannot imagine not reloading. But my friends who don't reload say the same things as the others have said. "I don't shoot enuff during the year and a box of shells will last me years vice paying all that money for reloading equipment."
