My opinion today is that it isn't worth my time to reload shells when I only shoot about 10 a year.

The cost of the press, die's, powder, brass, primers, bullets are all out of this world right now.

Even at $20 a box for factory loads. It will take me 200 years to recoop what I have in reloading supplies.

Right now I have close to 50 boxes of reloaded ammo and another 50 to 60 waiting to be reloaded and a dad that spends all day on the internet - that doesn't want to sit in a chair and polish brass and trim shells and pull on the lever.

2 reloading presses that he has abandoned and another 2 more sitting in a box.

My bedroom floor makes the empties rattle when I go to get into bed at night - because there is so many empty boxes of shells on the dresser in a box - waiting to be reloaded.

All that money gone to waste.
