I am amazed at how many still have the time to reload! I reloaded as a young man in the mid 60's to the early 70's when factory ammo was mediocre at best, but since the 80's when Premium factory lines of ammo were introduced it just didn't seem to make much sense anymore[to me, that is].As I got older I would sight in a rifle, see what it would do [most shot an inch or better and let it be, spending my time hunting the rifle rather than just firing from a benchrest and a funny thing happened! I started taking bigger deer and elk than ever before.I realized that benchrest accuracy was only so important in a hunting rife, That practical accuracy was and is all that is really needed but that the hunter's ability to deliver his shot ACCURATELY in a myriad of conditions and situations is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE! I am not taking away from people who have the time for reloading and benchrest shooting [I WISH I DID!]it's just reloading and the range/cleaning time was always work to me...like cleaning Ducks!I only have so much time now [still working] and hunting and collecting are my passions and it's all I can do to stay on top of them! So to answer TOWNIE'S QUESTION: "Why not load your own?" The answer is simple...If I did ...I wouldn't have have time to shoot ANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck with those BC'S AND FOR GOSH SAKES REMEMBER THE OGIVES! JERRY
