I have not shot factory ammo for over twenty years. I started reloading as a way to shoot more and spend less. Over the years it has become a hobby that keeps me busy on cold winter nights here in Maine. Most importantly it allows me to fine tune accuracy on my rifles, select quality bullets, and other components. I store my powder and primers in seperate heavy military ammo cans. You can buy these relatively cheap at surplus stores or online.
I have an area in my basement partitioned off for my reloading and firearms area.
