RE: Does anyone here find that reloading is a chore?
As a SHOOTER, I find handloading of ammunition to be a real relaxing, interesting, challenging, rewarding use of time. I can see how aperson who is primarily a hunter could think that it is better to spend your time scouting, building stands, etc., etc. But a guy like this's needs can be met by a Walmart rifle and factory ammo, too!
I don't just refill fired cases - I actually buy brass NEW, cast or buy special bullets, and use exotic powders -just tobuildcustom ammo to suit my requirements, as crazy as that sounds! I even shoot a couple of calibers for which ammo has to be made, 'cause it just ain't available any other way.
