I agree with DBMJR1, handloaders tailer precision ammunition and reloaders are doeing it to shoot more. I only shoot my reloads period. All I can afford to do as much as I shoot. Load for less than half cost of factory rounds. Only load 3 pistol calibers with 45ACP and 38 special leading the pack. Reload 8-10,000 rounds of each a year. If you shoot 5-600 rounds a month of each you have to reload to afford to shoot this much. If you really want to stay proficient you need to shoot this much. I started in 1980 and like everyone else I have experienced a few problems. Nothing major just a few eye openers. 2 Squibs in all those years. I have a system and stick to it. Don't alter or change and I get consistent ammo especially target 45acp and 38 special ammo. I'm not one to experiment with a lot of diff loads. Find loads with primers and powders and bullets I buy in bulk and try and not deviate. Loaders that are experiencing lots of the diff failures are not cutting cost corners they are cutting procedure corners.
