Is what worth it? You mean handloading? I prefer toi use the term handloading as opposed to reloading, because I produce ammunition that is BETTER than any you can buy, in that it is made specifically for my own personal guns! Yes, it is worth it from the satisfaction standpoint, and I can shoot a lot more than if I had to pay retailk for ammo!

Is it dangerous? Only if one is not willing to learn how to do it safely and effectively - but a whole lot more people are killed every year out hunting than in their loading room. I can only recall hearing of one fatality in a loading room, and it occurred before WWII to a guy who had stockpiled a great quantity of powder that he stored improperly.

IF it is a hassle to you, then it's not worth it. I do it because it is fun, challenging, and educational! IF you want to lkearn about guns & ammo, become a handloader!

I only shoot about 50 rounds a year through my rifle. Should shoot more and I'm trying to, just hard to get out some days. I reload and would never go back. It's the only way I can get the most accurate load for my rifle. I've learned a ton about ballistics, bullet performance, and accuracy tips due to reloading.

Not that it saves that much money but if you do it for more than a few years ( or more than a couple thousand rounds) you'll save money over time. I like it more as a hobby though, a chance to spend time with my rifle and make sure I'm feeding her right. I've never had a problem but like others have stated, don't drink, smoke or visit while you're down there. I do listen to the radio but I concentrate on the task at hand and once I start I don't stop until I'm done. Distractions will kill you if you're not careful.

Many years ago (15 or so)before premium bullets loaded by the big manufactures exploded on the marketI used Federal ammo in my remington 30.06 it shot well and was loaded with SerriaGame Kings, Federal stoped loading them. I had two choices, use the rounds thatdidn'tshoot well and had bad performance in game, or reload and use the same bullet at the same velocity I had always used and liked and posiably improve with greater velocity and accuracy by seating the bullet to my barrel's freebore. It was well worth it then, and has only grown as I've gotten more guns and gotten into IDPA.

It all depends on what you want to do. Reloading is a very satisfying when developing a load for a certian rifle or pistol. Shooting a lot to develop that load can bring your shooting skills from bottom to top. I really enjoy reloading and shoot every week trying to get just a bit better group. But if you just want to throw a few rounds out at hunting season you might use factroy rounds. I have found that many rifles will not shoot factory rounds under 3' at 100 yards. But if that is good enough then go with it. There seems to be a notion that the only reason a person reloads is to save money. But with reloadingit isn't all about that, although I have saved a big bunch over the years. When taken serious it can be very fun and rewarding. I can still remember when I shot my first deer with my reload worked up just for my 22/250.
