although I may not agree entirely with the above post much of it is true. If you start reloading you will shoot more and the savings really aren't huge. If you really only intend 300 rds it would be a wastes of time and money. I started loading 40+ years ago so I could get better accuracy out of my rifles, than started loading for handguns, than started casting my own bullets once you get started it's hard to stop. The last thing I did is a blessing and a curse......I built my own shooting range it's great to have a place to shoot anytime I wish but it costs me a lot more because I shoot more.
