Well, I'm not going to rush off right now and start reloading shotshells, but it is something I'm going to do eventually. Since I shoot so many old doubles, I think custom loads would be much cheaper to make than to buy, and making them would be fun as well.
I'm no longer a deer hunter, still shoot birds though. I'm also a sage rat shooter. However, if one is a deer/elk hunter there are a lot here. I don't want to shoot, drag, cut up, etc. anymore.
I reload for esoteric rifle/pistol rounds, the 43 Mauser, 8mm Lebel, 30 Rem, 50/70, 222, Hornet, Makarov, 6.5 Swede and of course the 243, '06, 45/70 and a few more. I own a slew of antique rifles/pistols and enjoy shooting them. Muzzle loaders, of course, most originals.
I am therefore, a busy shooter and am enjoying it in my retirement. My work, you see, is having fun - shooting.
