I began reloading in 1956, and my log book shows the expenditure of about 180,000 rounds fired. I currently load .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, and .45 ACP. I have in the past loaded .32 Magnum, .44 Russian and .45 AR.
My contentions are: I cannot load a better cartridge than I can buy, neither can I buy a better cartridge than Ican load. And: I don't save any money, but I shoot a heck of a lot more for the same amount.
The plus is that I can load a round perfectly tailored to my gun and situation. The .45 Colt with a 350gr. bullet at about 1100 fps is pretty scarce on dealer's shelves, plentiful on mine.
Load my own? You bet I do.
