I'd love to learn to reload. I think you would learn alot about shooting in general. The only thing you guys didn't figure in is the cost of reloading your own shot shells is, Equipment & Labor costs. After all your time is worth something. Also you need to have the space for set up. If you figure that into the equation I'm not to sure it's worth it but, as a hobby and a labor of love yes it is worth it. Plus if the SHTF you'll be glad you have it. Just a thought. Wallary [usa]
