[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5864195, member: 10399"] As others have explained, you won’t save much money. Some, in the long run, but not enough to justify the time and effort, from a purely monetary standpoint. However, I highly recomend it. I started hand loading in 2013 when TSS was not commercially available. I don’t know if I would have done so if loads were available like they are now, but I’m really glad I got into it. It’s a great side-hobby, you can try different loads and load variations to get exactly what your gun likes; it gives you something fun and turkey-hunting-related to do in Feb and early March; and if you stock up on components, you’ll never worry about load availability, ammo shortages, manufacturers changing components (which can impact performance), etc. I should never need to buy another turkey shell for 20 ga, .410, or 12 ga (although I don’t expect to shoot any more with a 12 gauge). And I know exactly what’s in each load and how it will perform, every time. I’ll roll my own until I’m too old to do it. Then I’ll make my son load them for me. [/QUOTE]
