It's still a good pasttime and to a degree therapeutic but economical isn't what it once was.
My cost to reload steel compared to factory:
2-3/4 1 oz loads $6.49 Factory 1-1/16 $10
3" 1-1/8 oz loads $9.71 Factory 1-1/4 $12
3.5" 1-3/8 oz loads $12.70 Factory 1-3/8 $16
In most cases I can't duplicate factory performance.
