Depends on one's mindset. I've never viewed handloading as a way to save money, rather as a fulfilling hobby - not a means to an end, rather the end in and of itself. If all I wanted to do was spit gallons of .22's through rapid fire guns, perform magazine dumps with AR's, and/or fire a couple shots a year when hunting then I would just buy the cheapest mass-market crap out there and, maybe, save a couple bucks and time - but oh what an empty existence that would be! I do agree with most of this there was a time recently 2017-18 that 9mm and 556 ammo was so cheap that I decided that loading those just didnt make sense. I bought a bunch. Now that scarcity and prices have gone through the roof, my stash of component's that didnt get used will be put to good use.

You are doing it way wrong then. Its always been cheaper for me to load ammo. Especially after the initial cost of the brass. Way cheaper. Because you have low reading comprehension. Read my post again. Slowly.

I have a 270 WSM that I really like. When Winchester brought out the 6.8 Western and with the shortage of ammo in the store buying the ammo is very difficult. I need to reload. I have brass, primers, and powder for reloading thankfully. Also I have a 7-30 Waters. I have 20 boxes of store brought ammo from when it is available. I also have 850 bullets that are 7 mm with the flat nose.

Read my post again. Slowly. Like I said, you are doing it wrong. Re read my post^^^^ Handloading is always going to cost less. Unless you are a fu cking retard.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
