I think I do it because I enjoy doing it primarily plus it makes it easier to have a large supply of ultra high quality ammo plus it ensures that I will never be affected by an ammo shortage and plus I think reloaders probably make liberals very uneasy. I don’t know that it has saved me any money but I never got into it to save money. I got into it to make ultra ahigh quality ammunition.
Much like you, I like to tailor my rifle loads and have lots of ammo regardless of the marketplace. And I like to shoot handguns, rifles and shotguns until I want to go home, not because I’m out of ammunition. Plus it’s a lot of fun to learn and still be doing my hobby at home.
I don’t care if liberals are uneasy around me, but I don’t necessarily want them to be.
