Mike,
If you decide you are going to reload to save some money then I suggest you practice the 10 year rule. This rule states that you always reload with components you purchased at least 10 years ago. It also helps to be a scrounger / hoarder of components when found at a discount to further decrease your cost. If you practice this method then in 10+ years you will be reloading at $3-4 a box when AA’s and RST’s are $25 a box or more. If your hair is already grey then this method may not work for you. I know one old fart using this method who is reloading at 1960’s component prices.
