Default RE: Question about reloading

"I have never reloaded anything and right now dont know anything about it, i was wanting to know if it is better to reload than it is to buy factory loads, "

It certainly is! You can not only make better ammo, you can tailor a load specifically for a particular gun, as well as make rounds designed for your specific application, which you cannot alwaysbuy!

IF you shoot a lot, you can also save money. However, if you are content just to fire 20 rounds or so a year, then it is more economical to just use factory ammo.

I started reloading to save money, as I was shooting a lot. Now, I shoot a lot less, but would never give up handloading because I like to experiment with many guns of all kinds, some with exotic cartridges, and find loading of ammo to be an end in itself. In addition, there are some calibers I could not afford to shoot at all if I had to buy the ammo - like the .416 Rigby, for example.
