Ok.. I got some gift cards for Xmas. Trying to decide between getting into reloading, or picking up a 22 pistol (S&W Victory probably). I currently don't have a 22 pistol. The only reloading caliber I would need right now would be the 30-06 Garand loads, and I can find them for 60-70 cents/rd and maybe 9mm if I ever felt like it.
They're roughly the same cost at about $400. The reloading might cost a bit more to setup the actual bench and area in the basement.
I'm not a competitive shooter, so reloading for precision accuracy isn't something I'm into right now. Reloading would mainly be a cost saving investment. Appears I can save roughly 30cents/rd by reloading the 30-06. With a $400 investment and saving 30c per round, the break even point is about 1300 rounds. Between all the other stuff I do, might take me a year or more to get thru that many rounds.
