Default RE: Factory or Reload or Ammo

I keep waiting for the money saving part of reloading, I havent found that yet.
IMO its very relaxing when I go back into my reloading room, work and other crap just seems to go away. Theres very little time to think about what a tool my boss is when Im deciding what depth to seata bullet.


Other then the obvious gain of accuracy the biggest reason I got into it was the velocity gain reloaders get above factory stuff. When you can reload a 7mm-08 speeds close to what the factory 7mm Rem mag come in, it makes your reloads that much more viable for the time it takes to do them. Realistically though I understand that factory loads are more than accurate and fast enough for hunting. There's just something about the satisfaction you get from getting a load 3 grains above max and shooting under an inch groups with it for me anyway. I know not all agree faster is better, most will agree faster is flatter though which makes me a more accurate shooter in the field.
