[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5838574, member: 18110"] I agree with this. I didn't shoot near as much prior to reloading as I did afterwards. I got into it because of a combo that was not commercially available. It grew from there. For the last year or so, I've tried desperately to downsize and eventually get out. If I was shooting a common caliber with available ammo...and found something that shot good enough for my needs...I would abandon completely. I will say though that it has allowed me to acquire rifles with hard to find ammo for decent prices. Rifles I never would have tried if I didn't hand load. But....it can be addictive... 😂 I recently acquired a box of bullets that have been discontinued for years....but I didn't have anything to shoot them in. Last night, I ordered a rifle for them. So, for me, I haven't saved a penny. If anything, reloading has cost me a fortune. Hindsight being 20/20, if I was in your shoes, I would sell the 35 and stock up on 270 ammo. Neither of those are likely bench guns, so you probably don't shoot enough to recoup your investment. Of course, I have no idea how much you actually shoot. [/QUOTE]
