Im saving 80cents, not figuring in the equipment cost, which I figure ive already long paid for. Id hardley call that a "teaspoon".
Beside handloading is not my hobby, hunting is my hobby, handloading is just a small part of it.
I'm thinking it isn't worth the risk to you rifle to shoot used brass unless you see the guy at the range actually fire it all and then put it back in the box. Brass has lots of life and I wonder if you're considering the risks of a case rupture.
