I am less then 6 months away from 70, I have been reloading since the early 70's. Equipt has already been paid for.

I just loaded up and shot some .308 match loads. Those 50 rounds cost me less then $.40 a round. A box of Federal match would have cost me around $32-34 for 20 rounds. My handload are as accuracte or maybe more so then the Federal Match, in my gun.

A box of 50-- .45 ACP rds, since I cast my own bullets, cost me less then $3.00 a box.
I am at the local range at least twice a week.

So no wild women, no late nights at the bar getting rowdy, got bored watching daytime TV. So I shoot and have been for the last 50 years.
More so since I retired.

Reloading helps me keep the cost down so I can.
