For many years, I lived to reload. However I sort of got burned out on it while competition shooting. My son and I both shot and I would end up reloadind a couple thousand loads of 45 Auto and 40 S&W every week plus casting bullets. It really got old and now I don't load much any more. I will work up a good load for each new or different gun but then often as not, if I find a good factory load like the Federal Fusions, I am apt to shoot factory stuff.
