I know for those of you who live in the barracks, I doubt there are too many First Sergeants who will allow this to happen. But how many of us reload our own? I do a variety of pistol and rifle rounds. I got into it when I could not find ammo for my vintage rifles. I have a sporterized Krag that I could not find .30-40 for, and an AR Rifle in .458 SOCOM which is not cheap to feed. So I am curious if any of you do?

Not I. I'm mainly a shotgunner, and reloading shotshells is comparatively easy, but it has never been something I wanted to get into.

It's like changing your own oil. There is a sense of independence, but out of cost/necessity and ACCESS if I had unlimited funds I probably wouldn't do it myself.

I reload every time the magazine is empty.

(Actually, my rifly is single shot bolt action, so I reload after every shot, but that doesn't sound near as funny).

I got into reloading when the wife and I became a part of a re-enactment old west and civil war group. Loading blanks was part of my learning experience. Since then I have picked up the equipment and dies to reload all of my weapons. I have a recipe for turning poop into black powder. I also have a 50 caliber flintlock that when all else runs dry I can still hunt food.
