RE: Is it really worth it?
I only shoot about 50 rounds a year through my rifle. Should shoot more and I'm trying to, just hard to get out some days. I reload and would never go back. It's the only way I can get the most accurate load for my rifle. I've learned a ton about ballistics, bullet performance, and accuracy tips due to reloading.
Not that it saves that much money but if you do it for more than a few years ( or more than a couple thousand rounds) you'll save money over time. I like it more as a hobby though, a chance to spend time with my rifle and make sure I'm feeding her right. I've never had a problem but like others have stated, don't drink, smoke or visit while you're down there. I do listen to the radio but I concentrate on the task at hand and once I start I don't stop until I'm done. Distractions will kill you if you're not careful.
