Back on topic thanks to Stang!

Recoil control?  Are you referring to say fractions of typical commercial ammunition loading?  I recall dogman does that quite often, but for hand cannons (500 S&W et al). 

Fireballs are also 

I reload when my clip runs out of boolits.

yes, lower than a typical factory load
for my short barrel 44mag and snubnose 357's i like to tone it down just a little bit.  i like to use Accurate #9 or #7 to tone down a bit or Trailboss to tone it down a lot
but for my 4" to 7.5" barrels , its H110 time!!!   

i like reloading for my magnum revolvers bc i can make it just how i want it for a specific revolver, barrel length, grip size, etc.
for my 308 bolt gun its more for accuracy
for 223 its more for reliability, cost, and accuracy.  but my AR i'm not that concerned with accuracy so much.  it needs to be fairly accurate but not dead nuts accurate bc i have a lot of factory seconds and just fmj heads so i don't expect dead nuts accurate, but i do expect reliability and less cost

I reload for all of the reasons already stated - save $$ (not really cause can shoot more), tweaking different loads with different bullets & powder, and accuracy.  And, more importantly, I always have ammo to go to the range & the rise and fall of factory ammo does not affect me.  The only factory ammo I buy is 22LR, but sold at least a few bricks recently.

My plinking 223 rounds cost me $0.22 per round, 9mm - $0.11, 38Spl - $0.13, 357 - $0.17, 308 "match" - $0.55. 

But, I unfortunately lost all my firearms, ammo, and reloading equipment in a boating accident.  Yesterday.

We used to have a boat but it sank. ....lost a lot in that accident.

Ocean floor must be lined with boats, guns, ammo, etc

at least you had some to lose in an accident...

do you reload with your masks on?

Noted on the customization of the revolver loads.  Don't have to worry about cycling like in semi-autos.  I'll likely reload for revolvers in future.  .357, .41, and .44.  But I don't really shoot those that often now as it is. 

.223, for now, I'm thinking "not worth it".  However, I have a few powders for .308 that can be used for .223.  Beyond .308, I'm thinking 30-06.  Though I've been reading that the Garand is tough on brass.   

For .223, I want function first, with 193 level accuracy.  Or even less.  Maybe more for my LPVO, but not a priority.

the range dust in the brass is worse than the 'rona

Save $$$ on commercial ammo cost, to prioritize into components.   

That .308 ammo cost is about what my buddy was telling me he was running before pandemic prices.  Maybe a little less.  I haven't sat down to calculate where I am at.  But being FGMM is in the $40-50 (and more) per 20, anywhere 1.00 per round is still awesome to me. 

I got into reloading because I thought it was fun. It is a valuable skill to have especially during a shtf scenario. I’m not really sure how much money I actually save, i think that’s a myth reloaders came up with to convince their wives to let them buy a Dillon press 

I actually love reloading, so zen like. I’ll listen to country music or watch old hickok45 videos and the hours just seem to fly by.

At least it wasn't a lot . . . a piece with different pipes for the boolits I mentioned and a coupla ammos

I’m with you on the love of reloading. I listen to older classic rock and oldies from the 50’s when I reload. It is very relaxing for me. I just finished a batch of 800 9mm practice ammo. And tomorrow I’m planning on starting on a batch of 600 357 magnum target loads.

reloading is like knitting...….for men
