I like to shoot, and whatevers cheaper, is the way I go. I do reload, and do so mostly because I can shoot more for the same money (I really dont save anything), but I do load for a couple of guns for the precision benefits. These days, it mostly reloads. If I buy factory, its by the case. I rarely buy by the box.
Back there for awhile in the 80's and 90's, it was cheaper to buy the surplus, than it was to just buy the components (bullets, powder, and primers) to reload them. I didnt mind that in the least, and Id welcome it back. Not holding my breath there though.
Im not that hard up that Im trying to reload Berdan cases using the wrong stuff, although its a good thing to know in a pinch, especially if its all you got to get you something better. When you see "Eli" go walking by, we might be there.
