Default RE: Cost effectiveness of reloading????

I never actually sat down and figured out the exact cost of reloading a specific cartridge, but I know that I am saving a pile on loading the weatherby brass. It don't cost me $82.00 to roll 20 of my own.I got all of my equipment years ago, and it has probably paid for itself 5 times over the years. There is also the self satisfaction of knowing that you have tailored the load to the particular rifle that you are shooting, wringing that last 1/4 minute of angle out of it. I have been able to better factory loads both in velocity and accuracy on many calibers. Some were fickle, but most showed improvement. Reloading is a blast, if you do so in a safe and concientious manner. Keep the distractions to a minimum, and have fun!
