Got off work this morning and decided to sit down and do a little reloading to take my mind off some things and play with some new toys I just picked up. Good ole Lee Classic SS just waiting for me to play with her and my new set of RCBS 10mm dies. Got to setup my new Hornady powder drop too.

About 3 hours in, got about 200 rounds of 10mm done and ready for the next range trip. A little assortment of Nosler 135gr and hornady 180gr XTP's with W231, Blue Dot, Unique, and some IMR 800X.

Its a good day :)
 
I'm with you....never thought I would actually enjoy reloading when I first started. I just wanted to save some money shooting! And now that my wife started shooting more, it gives me a reason to reload more!
 
Sounds like a good day to me. I started to save money, Now it isn't even the point of that anymore. I just reload to shoot and shoot to reload now...
 
Reloading is a great hobby. It lets us shoot more for less and have that feeling of satisfaction when our ammo takes out the bullseye on the target.
I went to the range today and just got thru cleaning my revolver and reloading the 100 rounds that I shot.
 
I was able to prove a point about the quality of ammo last week at the range.

A buddy bought a new AR & I told him not to be too critical of the accuracy since he was using wolf ammo.

I shot a mag (20rds) of my reloads in my AR & took out about a 1" circle of the target.
I then switched to American Eagle ammo & it was about 1 3/4" (I got a great deal & wanted the brass).

My ammo was MUCH better than his wolf - it was almost laughable.

So while I don't save (I shoot a lot more) my ammo is MUCH better than factory stuff.
Not that I'm saying I'm so great - all reloaders, if you're careful, can make GREAT ammo.
