Depends on what you want to do, for just blasting paper it's not worth it. Just pick up your brass and give it to me.

I already had the equipment and my 75-77 gr loads are way more accurate than anything I've bought. Plus I can load the 64gr bonded bullets how I want them.

For blasting crap I'll just buy the cheapest steel cased ammo I can find.

Meh, not yet for me personally. I do load pistol and hunting calibers. Fortunately I am still sitting on tons of surplus 5.56 and 7.62x51, hell tons of South African battle packs. After years of shooting 5.56/308 I have many 5gal buckets full of brass, at least 10k in 556 brass. One day I will load it....one day.

This. Shot my son's 223 Rem bolt action 2 days ago. 1/2" 3 shot group at 100 yards w/ Hornady 40 gr. Zombie Max bullets. Can't do that for $0.29/round.

Only issue I have with this is how it accelerates barrel wear due to the bi-metal jacket. But besides that, if only shooting a few hundred rounds, steel is very cheap and trouble free.
