The chad reloading vs the virgin retail consumer

[–] Carmakazi@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I don't think the value proposition has been in favor of reloading for at least a decade, unless you shoot things like .45-70 or .500 S&W. Reloading 9mm by the thousand would be a slog if you don't have a $10k automated setup anyway.

From what I understand, yes, saving money by reloading is largely a myth these days. Especially if you're accounting for the cost of your time. But it sure does protect you from shortages!
