Reloading is an artful hobby which must be approached from a methodical and scientific attitude. Although this hobby must be taken seriously, this part of the shooting sports can provide you with hours of enjoyment and once started, many shooters regret the fact that they had not begun reloading sooner!So, why take on the new hobby of reloading? Below are the top reasons you really should think about reloading:#1: Save money on ammunition
Anyone that shoots frequently knows how expensive ammunition has gotten in the last couple of years. Unless you’re shooting .22 caliber ammunition, you are going to spend some good money on ammunition. By reloading your own ammunition, you can cut your overall ammunition costs substantially! For example: Today, a box of 50 .45 caliber cartridges costs about $32.00. You can reload a box of 50 .45 caliber rounds for about $7.00-8.00. Shooting once a week, and shooting two boxes per trip, that’s a savings of almost $50.00/week! In all reality, rather than saving absolutely huge amounts of money most reloaders shoot more often for much less money. It’s like tripling your ammo budget and your range time.

#2: Difficult to find ammunition is always as close as your reloading bench
If you are like most shooters you been effected by shortages of your favorite ammunition such as .380, .45 Colt, 32-20. Now simply save your brass and reload it. You can whip up a box of 50 in a jiffy to service your ammo needs.

#3: Control over dimensions, ballistics, consistency and quality
Reloading opens up all sorts of new possibilities in terms of the type of ammunition you shoot. Do you shoot mostly SASS, IDPA or some other ‘gun game’ competition? Why not load your cartridges a little lighter than the “full house” factory loads to improve your ability to bring your sights back on target? Do you shoot.38 special rounds in your .357 magnum? Why not load .38 special loads in .357 magnum cases? No “crud rings” in your chambers, and you streamline your loading process. Maybe you’re a rifle shooter that demands the utmost in accuracy and a specific combination of powder, bullet, and overall cartridge length in order to optimize your long-range performance. If you are reloading your own rifle ammunition, that’s no problem at all! Heck if you like you can take things to the extreme for your rifle ammunition by sorting cases by neck thickness, check and align the concentricity of your bullets, uniform your primer pockets and flash holes, and the list goes on! Now you have all kinds of possibilities and that’s the fun of it all.
