When cost to reload is around $4 - $4.50/box, vs good factory common loads run $5-6/box these days, you have to shoot a ton, and have the free time, to make reloading worth it. Or you just like doing it. Or, spend some of the time reloading rather than chatting on the Internet.  it's all time management and prioritizing. I keep a reloader set up all the time and punch out whatever I can when I can. I filled a flat this morning when I fed and then let the dogs out and will do another one to two flats tonight during the same activity. -45 minutes/500 rounds/day, 3500 rounds a week, 182,000+ rounds over 52 weeks should be able to keep even MCH in shells over the course of a year. š Battue shoots a lot more shells than me. As do most guys that compete. I would like to find time to shoot as much as those guys do. Hard to fit that in when you have to get on top of 25% of the worlds mountains and dive in most of its oceans while doing so with its exotic women. Iām not feeling too sorry for you, however one out of those three makes me more than a little envious š Dan has a really nice course, when you can pull yourself away. š

Some astute thinkers say trouble is absolutely necessary for growth and boredom becomes a problem when our lives have too much certainty.
Nice to know you are still growing and they keep you from getting bored. š

I enjoy loading my own 12 gauge hunting and wild pigeon and pest loads. When I shoot some informal trap I use Winchester AA factory loads. I have lots of hulls and do my reloading in the winter months
