[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2937820, member: 3099"] Oh I agree that "commercial" calibers will justify reloading way faster. Same for shot shells, it just doesn't pay to load 7.5 shot 12ga target loads vs. buying bulk packs. But heavy hunting loads with larger shot sizes or other obscure gauges pay back really quick. The manufacturers can drop their profit margin because it's made up in volume with .mil calibers. I thought you were implying that it didn't pay to load 9mm or .223, while it certainly does if you shoot enough. Nobody goes to target practice with Speer Gold Dot or Federal HST and few will even load jacketed in 9mm if they shoot very much. I've found that quality coated lead (Bayou, S&S, Acme, etc.) is every bit as accurate and sometimes more so than a lot of bulk jacketed. Just makes sense to use them if you are shooting a lot.
