No I don't reload but I plan to in the future. More cost effective that way.
YES. Your ammo budget can/could/will probably greatly sway your choices in the firearm you ultimately choose. It could be the difference between shooting a little and shooting a lot. Not to mention, the boost to your confidence in your platform when you practice.
Then, having access to home made "purpose built/custom ammo" can also figure into your choice.

PS....as for the S&W internal lock. Say it this way......more parts, could mean more of a possibility of parts breakage. Think: Murphy's Law. So anyway, I don't buy S&W revolvers with the internal lock (aka: Hillary Hole). I'd rather have an older model.
STORY TIME
I've shot many, many, rounds through my Marlin. Then, one day.....I got a broken firing pin. If you don't know, Marlin uses a two piece firing pin (for more safety, they say). Well, I've since changed both of my Marlins to a one piece firing pin. But, that's ME.
