Sigh, no savings I just shoot more, and buy more reloading goodies.
Quoting myself from an earlier post.
I do save money reloading. I can reload a box of 9mm for about half what it would cost me to by it, about same for .45 and .223 plinking ammo, better savings on .380 and .357
I just don't have any net savings, no money in the bank.
As cfullgraf pointed out how you spend the savings is up to you, I chose spend it on shooting more and reloading, my shooting hobbies.
I put the way I did because some people think along the lines of say
10 boxes of ammo at $20 ea is $200, if I reload 10 boxes for $10 each that's $100 so I saved $100.
Some people might do that and save the $100 to spend on something other than shooting or reloading.
I think most people tend to say I want this XYZ for reloading for $20 and I will just shoot 8 more boxes of ammo,
so while they really did save $100 from one way of looking at it, they spent the $100 they saved on their reloading/shooting hobby so no net savings.
It makes me wonder how many people use their savings for something else or just spend the savings on more reloading/shooting.
I would guess maybe 80% spend the savings on reloading/shooting. The 80% number maybe high or may be low, what does everybody else think?
