Quantity of rounds expended is not the only justification for reloading.Plus, I don't shoot enough ammo to justify getting into reloading.
I shoot frequently, sometime every weekend but shooting frequently does not equate to a lot of rounds expended.
Often my shooting session will only be 50 +/- rounds - sometimes more if I bring a handgun or two but my point being reloading should be approached as an EXTENSION of your interest in shooting and not just as a penny shaving chore because while you are SAVING money - you are spending a little more on equipment and accessories to create considerably better ammo than you can buy.
Typically my shooting session will be an early morning run to my shooting spot, set up (5 minutes) and depending on the gun - lets say rifles - I will singly load rounds, shoot from my bench and evaluate what I am doing. If all goes well I'll go set up some clays or other targets and shoot a few more rounds then move to random pine cones to send them flying.
Don't forget about never having to run to the store to buy ammo at the last minute as you will always have a ready supply when you reload - so that 'I don't have time to reload' can be offset by making your own ammo in the security and peace of your own home - and that is a BIG savings for me!
