I don't reload yet, but would be a pretty fun hobby. I do however have an older friend who's really into reloading and all I have to do is take my empty brass or hulls to him and he reloads them for me at a very low price. Usually only 5-10 cents a round depending on the cartidge. The only bad experiences I had was when I had him make me 100 rounds of extra light .38 special target loads. No, i'm not a sissy when it comes to recoil. I just wanted to have lots of shooting fun at a very low price. Anyways, while shooting I could definatly tell they were very light loads because not only was there no recoil, but also I could see the bullet leaving the barrel. Well, of the 100 rounds I shot I had 4 duds, 7 bullets that barley left the barrel, and 1 that got stuck in the barrel.
I don't blame him at all. It was my fault because I wanted such custom loads just because I was being a cheapskate. Anyways, when I do get ammo from him I just have him reload them with the proper load and I have yet to have a problem again.
