I love reloading. I gotta tell you, how else would I be able to enjoy some obscure calibers.
I recently picked up a model 1898 Krag in 30-40 made in 1900. I reloaded 20 rounds for it and took it to the range. It fired great, and it was a great feeling to make a 115 year old rifle sing. It was the indoor range, so only 25 yards, but it was still amazing to shoot a piece of history.
I've also been reloading for a couple of Japanese type 99 Arisakas in 7.7 and it's been great to shoot those as well.
If not for reloading, it would be extremely expensive or nearly impossible to bring some life for these old war horses.
