My favourite round to reload is 577/450 Martini Henry. I cast my own bullets, make lube, do paper patching. The whole process is very time consuming, but I hardly notice the time at all, its just very rewarding.

I like making gadgets for reloading. I'm busy now making a wad cutter for .410 shotgun which will fit into a single stage press. The wad punch I use at the moment works perfectly well when twatted with a hammer but I WANT to make this gadget!

I hated reloading hundreds of waxy 38sp for PP1, probably because they got used up so fast, but nowadays loading .308 is a pleasure - I give each one a little wipe and place it lovingly in the box
I enjoy reloading, including the case prep, so I’m clearly a bit odd.
The bulk of mine is for my .303 which I use with reduced loads and cast bullets which adds a different aspect to things. Once I’m up and running I can put out a box of 50 .303 rounds for roughly the same price as the same number of .22lr. The equivalent number of full fat factory (privi) rounds would be around £50 so the savings ramp up quite quickly.
The bulk of my loading is on an old RCBS JR3 press, but I do have a lovely Buchanan hand press when I want to fondle something and a Lee hand press that I use for decapping.
I get almost as much pleasure from reloading as i do shooting.
It's good to see I'm not alone in this.
