To put another perspective on my long winded late night post, it comes down to priorities.
A hunter may carefully assemble relatively few rounds. I'll bet somebody planning to hunt African game with a Sharps pays a lot of attention to detail.
If I'm going to a big match I'll need upwards of 200 rounds, all of which have to be of consistent high quality. Time consuming as handloading is, I'm always looking for ways to make it more efficient.
It's really no different from someone loading modern centerfire hunting ammo on a single stage press vs. a highpower or pistol competitor using a progressive press. Not to mention those $300 case trimmers!
