I am deeply sorry that there is such a pervasive attitude among the community that handloading one's own ammunition is difficult, tedious, expensive, or dangerous. The truth is that it is none of these. Handloading has almost never been less of these things, as a whole, than it is now. That's not to say that price was (or is) never an issue, because handloading was never really about saving money, but firstly about developing a more intimate relationship with your firearm, and secondly developing some level of self-sufficiency.And to really stir the pot here, I'm going to say that handloading your ammunition is AS IMPORTANT of an aspect of enjoying firearms, as is buying, modifying, and shooting the guns themselves. If you do not handload, you are not actually a "firearms enthusiast" and your opinions on various aspects of the hobby (even not related to handloading) holds little to no weight. There's no need to try to argue this point, because as a man of faith and a follower of the true religion I am incapable of misrepresenting the truth in any fashion.You MUST handload your own ammunition. There is no excuse not to. It is absolutely vital for the continued existence of private firearms ownership as a whole, let alone your own personal enjoyment of them.Christ is King.
>Handloading was never aboit saving moneyLol
>>65011250You're thinking of reloading. Handloading is different than reloading. Handloaders do it for the aforementioned reasons. Reloaders do it because they are shooting competitions with hundreds or thousands of rounds per day. Reloaders do not enjoy reloading; it is simply a necessary evil in a sense. Handloaders do enjoy handloading, because they have a choice not to do it.
>>65011247>>65011250>>65011266It's unironically more complicated. Handloading allows someone to pursue multiple things, but "flattening money" or something like that is definitely one of them which *can* mean "saving money" though not necessarily. Basically when you handload the cost of a given round becomes pretty close, it's determined just by your own time and consumables. Some cartridges are harder on the brass, some wildcat designs require far more customization of brass than others which = more time, and of course some use bigger boolets/more powder that simply costs more, but overall the effect is that the cost of the cartridge is disconnected from whether it's popular or not. This is totally different from standard mass manufacturing.So you're never ever going to beat the price of 9mm or 556 or the like in sheer lowest price, can't compete directly with factories pumping out hundreds of millions of rounds. But you can absolutely save money, a lot of money even, when it's some niche thing, because it gets really expensive to use a factory or machines when you're only doing a single little run once in awhile. You can also save money (and get better results) if you're specifically doing match grade prs sorts of ammunition, or any sort of niche load.So yeah the benefits of tuning to your rifle and so on are real, but IF you're into stuff other than mag dumping at the range there is legit straight up savings potential as well.
>>65011266Lol
>>65011266stop being retarded and inventing your own head canon make believe verbiage. handload and reload is the same thing. different people have different purposes with it is all.
>>65011303Brainlet take, literally all human language is "make believe".
>>65011308But what is even like reaaaal man?
>>65011310Glad you agree with me on this one
>>65011323I agree that your definition is nonsense
>>65011308nope not even a single time. i am objectively right.
>>65011325>>65011358You tried to move the goalposts to discredit the facts I presented, but that ironically made you look more retarded.Which is it: did humans invent language or not? If you want to argue that human language was given to humans perfectly and completely formed already as a divine gift (as. for example the Jews do believe) then you are free to present that argument. But as we are communicating in English and not in Hebrew, your argument would fall apart on its own.
>>65011407But what if nothing mattets dude like woah man.
>>65011410Not an argument. I accept your concession.
>>65011439Thanks for playing try harder next time!
>>65011247>Christ is kingreloading is based but you're a fag and your insufferable bullshit will only drive people from the hobby while you sit around smugly, with your fingers in your ass.
>hello mr. store yes I would like to buy 5000 rounds please and thank you>hello mr. store yes I would like to buy 5000 primers please and thank you
>>65011247Hey OP, prove that you actually reload
>>65011287>>65011247When did we stop hating on reddit spacing faggots with gay ass threads confidently touting female brained vibe categories?
>>65011752OP is a faggot 100% of the time but I support reloading so I tend to give the rare threads about it real replies in the hope it might turn into something ok and OP fucks off to suck a billion dicks like he does most afternoons. At least I think that's the answer to your post since I can't translate the last half of it into English.
>>65011752Proper paragraphs aren't reddit spacing. Putting every sentence on its own is.
>>65011735That's my photo in the OP.
>>65011752Line breaks between non-greentext aren't reddit spacing.Reddit spacing is when you put a line break after a comment reply, for example>>65011735There should not be a line break here^. Or, when you put a line break between lines of greentext, or between lines of greentext and regular text. For example>there was no line break here, which is correct, as the green text automatically breaks up lines for readability>but there was no point for a line break here>or here
