Does it save me money? Probably not. As stated above because the cost per round is so much cheaper I shoot a whole lot more but I get the extra time shooting so money wise it’s a trade off but what I really enjoy is tayloring loads for each of my guns. I’ve been loading off and on for over 30 Years and it still amazes me the difference a certain load can make even at 15-25 yards! The downside to my constant testing is you wind up with a lot of different powder and different types of bullets so you spend more money on components than actually needed. A lot of guys would be happy to find one load that works ok with all their guns and cost wise that’s the smart way. Every time I get a new to me gun I can’t stand it, I have to find what works best.
