Not me. The loads are probably better than I can shoot.
Sarcasm my man..."Natural point of aim" demonstrated with eyes closed on multiple videos on this point shooting thread - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...hose-with-vision-issues.891558/#post-11996959
Close to 30 years of reloading over 650,000 pistol rounds (not to mention countless rifle rounds not tracked) with the ram lever only on the right side of the presses ... No hand/wrist/forearm issues.My press handle gets moved from right to left and back twice a week. Lots of hand/wrist/forearm problems will make you a bad shot.
Your wife loves you!Close to 30 years of reloading over 650,000 pistol rounds (not to mention countless rifle rounds not tracked) with the ram lever only on the right side of the presses ... No hand/wrist/forearm issues.
Over 35 years of cooking (28 years of marriage essentially cooking all the meals) using cook's knives and cooking utensils only with right hand ... But I am ambidextrous when it comes to doing laundry and house cleaning. No hand/wrist/forearm issues.
And I can still dry fire without moving the front sight, even with just using thumb and middle finger for grip.
So I guess cooking and housekeeping also help you become a better shooter?

I shot low quality ammo and with low tier guys… think Sausage belly and diabetes
Depends......Depends......
Do you reload for what reason?
Less expense per round?
More ammo to shoot (volume)?
Availability of ammo to shoot?
Accuracy?
Because you LIKE to reload?
With Mustard and onions! TUMMYCan still practice good mechanics with poor ammo, even while shooting with sausage bellies.
No denying that.I’m bad at reloading and shooting! but I’m good at commenting online
I only shoot for two reasons: put meat in the freezer and make empties to reload.I shoot a whole lot more, because I reload.
I shoot with a guy who has never reloaded, buys only top tier ammo, shoots 500+ rounds per week, is fast and dead on accurate.
Amount of trigger time will improve skill
Natural ability cannot be faked
Reloading affects costs
you are pretty good commentator tooNo denying that.
Yup.Correlation and coincidence aren’t causation.
I have given this analogy some thought and OP's question of "handloaders" being better shooters some consideration.Mario Andretti was Indy 500, doesn't mean he can build an engine. Robert Yates builds awesome motors, doesn't mean he can drive a race car.
There are great shooters, who do not reload.
Well, I will say the handloader is more likely to be able to handle a FFF/E better than the first three.I concur, Palladan
The line up;
A first shooter
A person that carries everyday, fires less than 50 rounds per year.
A casual shooter, shoots less than 50 rounds per month.
A Handloaders, taylors his loads to his needs, shoots 200+ rounds per month
A shooter, using whatever factory loading they cam obtain, serious practice, 50 rounds per week.
Who are you going to bet on? The winner COULD be any. My $$$ is on the Handloaders.
Can you have serious practice without having accurate ammo? Not all factory loaded ammo is accurate in every gun.
