Is it just me or does anyone else think that reloading your own ammo is a waste of time and money? Why bother when you can just buy factory rounds? Seems like a hassle.

Seems like the article missed the mark on factoring in the long-term environmental impact of reloading .45 Colt. We cant just focus on cost without considering sustainability. Lets reload responsibly, folks!
