I don't mind reloading at all. Something to do when the mood strikes me. I have 44 magnum components on my table now.
I use Handloads.com calculator to figure out my cost of ammo. With (quality) components and deals have loaded .38 Special @ $3.48 a box of 50. The local gun store ran in Nov. & Dec. all of their cast bullets at half off. Coated included. Bought 4 boxes.
Is it right for you???? The decision is yours! Regardless, enjoy shooting. Bob
