Cheapest factory ammo I bought was Sellier & Bellot....about $.73 PER ROUND for a box of 50. I stocked up.
I would have stocked up, and DEEP!

At that price, my Hornady progessive would have never came home..... :mrgreen:

The person who made the response on the forum has gone literally off the deep end bat guano crazy with subsequent posts.

Guy must have a screw loose. Reload or don't, it's up to the individual. Other than that who cares?

Guy must have a screw loose.
He must be back on his meds as he has dramatically 'mellowed' his stance on reloading.
Many provided rational and objective (and undeniable) reasons for reloading.
The following is ONE of mine:

This naysayer to reloading also seems to avoid accepting three major reasons for reloading - rare, expensive or otherwise unavailable factory ammo, specialized loadings for common ammo that are NOT made by the manufacturers and the need to custom load ammo for certain guns to tailor a load specifically for them to achieve maximum accuracy. The two examples I gave previously were for certain single shot rifles intended for competition.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Hard to find ammo is a good argument for sure. Cimarron sells a Tom Horn lever rifle in 45-60....

To me, it is therapy. It gives me peace, relaxation and the satisfaction of creating something usable that also brings me enjoyment. You can't put a value on that because it's priceless. Folks that don't get it never will.
