I had a nasty shock at the store this week. 20 rounds of Winchester .308 for $17 plus tax. At the same time I picked up a box of 50 9mm Para, for $11. If I take up shooting the FAL a lot (I only built it this week), I'm going to have to take a serious look at reloading. However, I'm not convinced I'll be doing it enough to be worth the initial investment in the tools. (Or the patience to do it!)

Heh... Yeah, my father, the fussbudget tightwad hunters' safety instructor, loved to dink around with the reloading equipment he'd invested in years before I ever entered the picture. We even melted lead and cast our own bullets (he wanted his two boys to understand the process from beginning to end). He was a big fan of Herter's catalog...long before catalog shopping became fashionable.
