Would I be in the minority if I load half of my caliber footprint, and buy factory for the other half?
I currently reload .45ACP, .40 S&W, .30/06, and .270WSM (for my father). I also shoot 6.8SPC, .30/30, and .223, but don't currently load for these. Am debating on whether or not it is worth it for the last calibers. I get good groups from factory ammo at .30/30 ranges, .223 will never be cost-effective, especially on my single-stage press (which I have no desire to graduate from), and 6.8SPC doesn't get shot very often, I bought it so my kids can have an adjustable LOP rifle for deer hunting when they start. My next, if there is a next, would be .30/30, but I am still on the fence.
I am just wondering, for the sake of curiosity, if the majority of reloaders are all-or-nothing. Do you who have been in it longer reload every caliber you shoot, or do you still buy only factory ammo for some of your centerfire calibers?
