Absolutely true. I am surprised (or really not) at the number of Electrical Engineers that shoot. Just something about it.Hand loading is at least as enjoyable [as shooting but] in a different way. They both relieve stress.
I would say you should look into some variations on how you shoot. I shoot air rifles, .22 rimfire, shotguns, rifles, and pistols. All of them can get boring or can even be stressful if you don't watch out. If you like a challenge, make your shooting more challenging; if you like it to just be fun, shoot in some games or make up your own; if you are into science, technology, etc., get data from the range and crunch it. There are lots of ways to go to enjoy both reloading and shooting.I find it relaxing vs shooting,training and sweating
I suppose there are some who love reloading and do not like shooting as much. But both can be stressful, frustrating, blood pressure raising activities if you let them. But when that happens, I know it is time to re-look at why I am doing what I am doing.
I started reloading 30+ years ago and back then my incentive to reload was to make ammo cheaper than I could buy it. Then I started to really enjoy all the steps and cared less about the savings. Some enjoy building guns with little intention of ever shooting them much. Some like stock work and finishing. Whatever floats your boat!
