I see no reason to reload - 30car, 9mm, 9x18, 32acp, 8x57 and 7.62x39. I shoot Silver Bear for the most part in both my CZ82 and my SKS.
I reload because I can reload better ammunition than I can buy. Most of the "hunting" rounds in 7.62 are a joke. I like the premium bullets for hunting. You can keep your Wolf crap.
My 9x19s are $1.50 a box, make my own bullets, all I pay for is powder and primer. 9x19 is going up, too. On my Dillon, I can crank out a box in about 10 minutes.
I cast bullets in the evenings when I would be laid out watching TV or something else unproductive. Reloading is similar, why watch the boob tube when you could accomplish something with the time?
As to being firearms ignorant, lencac, who made YOU the expert? Long range? Who said anything about long range? Mine's 3 MOA accurate and for some hunting jobs like down on my place, which is heavily covered, 100 yards is about as far as you're going to shoot. If all you like about rifles is 1000 yard shooting, I suggest that YOU are ignorant of the vast majority of rifle shooting in America and hunting situations. We don't all live where we'd CARE about anything over a couple hundred yards, why else would the M94 Winchester be so bloomin' popular? My SKSs never miss a beat. Yeah, they were cheap. I gave 75 bucks for the rifle, 115 for the paratrooper carbine. Where are you going to get an AK for that, or an AR? They work, they're adequately accurate, and they make SUPERB ranch rifles, working guns, toss in the pick up guns. I ain't going to throw a Weatherby Mk V behind the seat of the truck to bang around with tools and such, no thanks. I bought mine, if for no other reason, because I just couldn't turn down a 100 dollar gun that functions so bloomin' well. I mean, in function, it compares VERY WELL to a Ruger mini 30. Why would I wanna buy the Ruger for 4 times the price when I can get just as good functioning gun in the SKS?
