So say you struck oil in your backyard or made it to the top of your firm and money was abundant in your life.

Would you still reload your own ammo? Or would you just buy quality factory ammo and sell off your equipment?

 

To be honest I'd probably buy more, but still reload from time to time. I admit my main reason to reload is so I

can shoot more without breaking the bank. But in the short time I've been doing it I've found it is a very satisfying

hobby. Something bout shooting your own handmade rounds has a very cool intrinsic value.

 

What about you guys?

 

Note: The poll has two options only. I know even as reloaders we still buy factory from time to time. I'm just trying

to see what people would be more inclined to do.

I would buy from a reloader that I trust.

I might reload for the pleasure of load development for some form of bench rifle shooting but for just cranking out mass rounds for all the various pistol matches, i'd buy commercial as much as i could. Loading ammo for competitive shooting gets tiresome after so many thousands... lol

I prefer to shoot ammo that's less powerful than factory but still makes PF for competitions. Reloading lets me do that, with the added bonus of slightly increased accuracy.

I would buy a commercial press and have ammo made for me. =P

 

You get spoiled by shooting tailored loads, steel loads, loads that barely cycle the slide, or super hot loads for shits and giggles.

I forgot to add a third option: Pay top dollar for a trained monkey to reload on my behalf.

nah i wouldnt reload ever again just do it to save a few dollars i by flats crates whatever i could if i had never ending money

if money was no object, i wouldnt even go to a gun range ever! I'd have land big enough to set up a "Top Shot" fun range, complete with all the crazy stuff you see on the show. I'll even invite people in here for free!

I'd load rifle ammo tailored to the gun.

I would still load for PF and the gun I am using and what sport I am shooting. Now I do know I would do one thing, It would be Dillon 1050 # 1,1050 # 2,1050 # 3 etc for each caliber and PF I shoot, so I would actually buy more equipment. However I might not buy brass any longer.

For me, reloading has nothing to do with money. It's all about finding the correct loads and projectiles for my rifles and conditions.

 

For the rifles that are less accurate, I just buy regular ammo in bulk.

 

For all my more accurate rifles, I reload. For some I have multiple recipes depending on range, purpose, etc.

 

Pistols, I mostly just buy or reload in bulk (and that's a money thing).

This is what I was thinking I would do. A huge bench with 1050's lining it. I would buy tons of Starline brass and leave it after I shot it.

I would do both, buy tons of blasting ammo for certain guns and reload for my specific needs in others.

I would continue to reload, yes. But I would do it with lots of FMJ bullets and new brass

Yeah, with top of the line stuff though! Hydraulic presses!
