reloading would be good but i usualy only put about 30 rounds a year through it not counting what i actully use in the field about another 10 rounds give or take it would take about 4 years to start seeing savings if i start to reload its just as cheap if not as easy to buy factory now if it were something i was shooting as much as or as often as my 22 plinkers then yeah defintly reload
but its strickly a hunting and behind the seat rifle not a plinker or paper puncher
