I am relatively new to shooting and gun collecting and have decided to start reloading. I will be aquiring reloading gear soon and plan to reload several pistol and rifle calibers. I also want to add two guns to my collection for range trips. I want an AK-47 and a Mosin. Generally when I buy a new gun in a caliber I don't own, I order a bunch of ammo in bulk.
So my question is, if you were to start from scratch, would you buy cheap, non-reloadable ammo like wolf or brown bear, or would you spend double the price for ammo that is reloadable. Will it ever be worth it to reload for an AK or Mosin?
Are there any other benefits to reloading 7.62 other than cost? I can't imagine using these rifles for anything other than plinking. I may take the Mosin hog hunting but have other rifles I would probably choose first.
Again, if you had no reloading equipment for 7.62x39 or 7.62x54r, and no ammo in those calibers, would you invest in more expensive rounds and all the reloading gear or just buy cheap, nonreloadable ammo from the beginning?
