So, even using E/C's number of 15 cents each (versus my 14 cents each), it's still there in terms of economy.
It's certainly there in terms of quality. (Comparing reloads to your cheap steel stuff).
Now, you can buy pretty decent match grade stuff, but then there's not even a question about the economics. Reloads will be virtually just as good, if not a bit better (depends on your skill level and tools)
Reloading is a hobby like lots of other hobbies. Some people are too busy to have any hobbies. Others take pride in woodworking, or metal working, or gardening. Lots of us take great pride in the ammunition that we create. Some of us take it to great extremes, including casting bullets, swaging bullets, etc.....
I enjoy the reloading as much as I enjoy the shooting. And, I enjoy the shooting a LOT!
