    Yeah I am aware of that, I reload too.

    And have plenty of consumables.

    But someone buying all the gear (eg. Area 419 press, AMP Annealer, AutoTrickler V4) just to replicate Hornady or other factory ammo is pointless.

    Some spend so much time at the loading bench and doing 'load development' that they barely get out.

    I know for some that reloading is a hobby in itself, but I see it as a means to an end, not an end in itself.
