One advantage to reloading, even when ammo is plentiful is saving money by reloading. In some cases it is cheaper overall if you consider your labor to buy some ammo loadings than it is to reload it. for training ammo in 7.62x39 it is cheaper to buy, unless maybe you are able to used cast. When 9mm was 17 cents around, considering my time plus components it was better to buy.I’ve often thought of getting into reloading just for fun. I thought about getting a Lee Loader just to get my feet wet but saw that RCBS has rebates going on.
I’m thinking of getting a Rock Chucker and maybe a tumbler and/or die set or two just to take full advantage of the rebate now but I’m guessing with the ammo shortage, that’s the case with components as well?
If it makes any difference, I would mostly be reloading 5.56, .44 and 9mm.
You will save lot if you reload 44 magnum and other cartridges that do not have cheap loads available for them.
