Ha! Anyone check the price of Norma anything? Not cheap.
I've always liked the 6.5x55 Swede. I might take it up one day. I'm too much of a 7mm family fan. My favorite is the 7mm-08. |

I don't like ice fishing and needed something to do until the lakes thaw.

.40 S&W used to cost more per box. I like to shoot alot, so decided to reduce the cost a bit.

I have been reloading since about 1970 when I started burning mass quantiles of .45LC.
Long story short it is fun, relaxing, and time to you self. I can load any round for any task I need, slow for plinking, fast for long range, specific bullet type for a specific task. About the only situation I do not reload for is my SD ammo. Let us not hijack this thread with that one, but for specific reasons I chose to use factory ammo for my CCW gun.

It sounded interesting and the cost. I first started reloading 10mm. That's a spending round to buy, but doesn't really cost any more than a 9mm to reload. (OK, a little, but not much)

Started loading for rifle accuracy, with my Dad, while a teen, 7mm mag. and 30-06. Long range hunts. Am just returning to it now as I started shooting .45acp in USPSA this past year. I don't want to think about what WWB cost me for practice and competition in '07, but at least I saved a bunch of the brass to reload.

I received a hands-on introduction to the wonderful world of handloading several years before I actually began doing it on my own.
1. I can still roll my own for less than the cost of factory. 2. I can tailor my loads for any of my particular firearms to achieve optimum performance. 3. I enjoy it.
