Editing Handloading (section)

=== Economy ===
Handloading ammunition avoids the [[labor costs]] of commercial [[production lines]], reducing the expenditure to only the cost of purchasing components and equipment.  Reloading may not be cost effective for occasional shooters, as it takes time to [[return of capital|recoup the cost]] of needed equipment, but those who shoot more frequently will see cost-savings over time, as the brass cartridge cases and shotgun shell hulls, which are often the most expensive components, can be reused with proper maintenance.
