    You won’t save money if you don’t shoot a lot.

    BUT...

    You can create the best ammunition for YOUR gun

    And

    You won’t be shopping for ammo that’s not on the shelf during the next shortage. So long as you acquire components once they are available.

    I load for those two reasons only. All my equipment has yet to pay for itself in 4 years. But I am never without ammo if I need some.

      Benefits to reloading
      Customize your loads to the gun
      In normal times, never have to hunt for ammo. And there's cost savings as well. Generally save about 40%. Plus as stated it's a hobby into itself. I load for only 44 mag right now. I have developed a hunting load that's far superior to anything commercial I've found and have enough components to last my lifetime.

        If you are shooting 3 calibers 6-8 times a year you should consider buying ammo (when it is available again) with the money you would use for your initial reloading set up costs. As everyone has indicated you have to shoot more than a lot to amortize your initial costs. It is a great hobby and you can tailor the ammo to your needs but you probably won't save any money.

          3 of the most popular/plentiful calibers in existence.
          Right now, I wouldn't even think about it....but that's me.
          MAYBE later when things are a bit more plentiful and less pricey.
          JMHO.

            I’d just buy 200 rounds of each caliber per year and you’ll be set for life.

            Honestly don’t think it would be worth it for you unless you want a hobby to tinker with.

              I have been rolling my own for 50 years give or take and I really don't believe it has ever saved me much money. Mostly because it allowed me to shoot more and more often. The cost isn't always about the reloading equipment and components. No telling how many barrels I have burned out and those ain't cheap to replace
              Them P-dog gun barrels don't last long sending 40 gr pills downrange at 3800-4000 fps. One 3 day weekend shooting 2000+ rounds can get expensive.
              Like any hobby, you never look at the cost of having fun.

                One more thing about reloading is to keep very detailed records of what you have done and where you have been and what you got in that box. So easy to get confused and get stuff mixed up. Write erthang down and I mean every small detail.
