Reloading is the way to go with expensive ammo.I printed out your info about reloading equipment. My son has been reading up on it. It's something he's been wanting to do. I, on the other hand, have my motherly fears about his undertaking it.
Thanks.

Unless he smokes while he reloads, reloading is way safer than cooking. Nothing hot, nothing sharp, nothing electrical. If he can handle a gun safely, he can reload safely. My 6 year old would sit on my lap and pull the handle. Modern powders are safer than hollywood would have you believe, and there are plenty of books to teach you.

Bullet and powder manufacturers publish tested "recipes" for each caliber including powder weight, cartridge overall length, bullet style and weight. A careful person can follow the directions and achieve a better quality product than a factory load. Start with something simple with a straight walled case e.g. 38SPL or 44SPL.
