Re: Reloading in 2020

I grew up in a reloading household. After I moved out I did my own reloading.
I don't bother now.
A. It's tedious and time-consuming and really not an enjoyable task for me. Even when paired with watching TV or listening to the radio. It's still dirty, repetitive, etc.
B. It's not cost-effective if you figure in your time.
Before anyone jumps on either point let me clarify: If you enjoy the task of reloading as a hobby, and you have nothing else to do with your time, then by all means have at it.
However, if you put any value on your time - even a mere $5/hour (and you should when doing any cost analysis, as nobody's time is truely 'free') then the amount of money 'saved' reloading is next to nothing. For me, my time is far better spent with family or doing other hobbies that I enjoy.
