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.
Nothing wrong with saving money. The point is that "for me" that is not a priority nor the intent. If I do, fine. I handload because it gives be the best ammo for my guns using the selected components I want. Handloading is one of my many hobbies. Generally my hobbies only have to be "worth it" to me.
