I enjoy the tinkering with the handloading stuff almost as much as shooting the ammo. I get enough enjoyment out of it that I consider it a separate hobby.
No point really... just a statement. I really do get equal enjoyment out of each activity. When I'm being careful and meticulous loading up a bunch of new ammo, I can hardly wait to get to the range to try it out. And after I shoot, I can hardly wait to get home to start cleaning up the brass and loading it back up. It's like a self perpetuating sport.
I'm a shooter.
Reloading is something I do to get ready to shoot.
I do it for lower cost or to get a load not readily available on the market.
Not for fun.
Casting is too much like work and I do it only for very special purposes.
I am at present even buying custom cast bullets for my .38-55 and .40-65 BPCRs.
I handload to shoot the dang things. I love shooting more than handloading, Just being honest.
However, I love to handload and the experamentation of it all.. It's like a quest to see how good you can perfect it. The perfect round to make the perfect shot.
Handloading is very therapeutic. If it weren't for handloading, I'd be drinking alot more.
I read that one danger point to be aware of is when you have a new load you want to work up, realize you don't have any empty brass, look through all your loaded ammo agonizing over which one is "just not right", take several boxes of that to the range just before it closes, burn it up (ignoring group size or setting up the chrono), then drive home so you can get it into the vibratory cleaner. If your frustration level only drops when you have a bin of shiny brass out of the cleaner and are sitting in front of the press, you may have a reloading problem.
As long as you are having fun with each "half" of the reloading/shooting equation, there is balance.
Of course, I've only read about this type of disorder and I have absolutely no personal experience in this area...
