Why do you reload.

[Tex Critter]

Shooting factory fodder is like treating your gun like a cheap whore.

1) To save money. Getting a press next month.

Just wondering if someone can explain how reloaded ammo is more accurate than factory ammo?

 

[Garand]

Ever tried to find factory .400 CorBon?

It's my God given right to sit in my basement and assemble ammunition.

My nearest real gunshop is 90 miles away. If I need rounds I like to know I got the stuff to make what I need.

Where's the "Because I'm a rifle loony" option?

I was initially only going to put down the first two but had to go with all three as there is no one (to my knowledge) making blackpowder loads for the 45-70.

Gives me a pleasure that beating my dog and yelling at my wife can't fullfill.(jk)

The god's demand it.

I used to load because it was cheaper and I could do better. Factory rifle loads are better than ever so I don't load them right now. The only thing I load is 7/8 oz. clay and field loads because factory stuff is not available in my area.

Because I don't remember where Wal-Mart or Crappy Tire is anymore....

 

[fogducker]

i started off reloading hunting rounds thinking i was gonna save tons of money..
what a crock that turned out to be,once i saw all the things i thought i needed..
worth it?..every penny

Mainly to shoot premium bullets at higher velocities in 45/70.

Also to save money on calibers I shoot a lot, and to reload for calibers that factory ammo is really difficult to find or too expensive.

To make premium hunting ammunition tailored to my rifles, and to make inexpensive practice ammo, also tailored to my rifle.

Also, to make reduced loads for my rifles for grouse and subsonic rounds for quiet pest control.

When I get my 375 Ruger I plan on hunting everything from rabbit to grizzly! Why not? LOL
