Quite frankly, most of my shooting is for frequency and quantity, not quality...,
I reload solely with the intent to save money, so I think we are on the same page as far as reloading goes. I intentionally load down to save money and to a lesser extent wear and tear on the gun and my shoulder. In my experience, a paper target or the occasional pop can doesn't really care if the bullet is travelling at 2700 or 3000 fps. Understand that most serious reloaders will find our ideas blasphemous, but that is OK. I don't disagree with their reason for reloading. It's just that putting 3 rounds into 1 "ragged hole" at 16,000 yards is not what floats my boat. A large supply of cheap ammo = a good day at the range for me.
