I reload everything but rimfire. For me it's not about what's cheaper to do, it's about me liking reloading and knowing everything from A-Z that went into that shell.

I will sound like a broken record. But I buy 22lr and shotgun. Everything else is reloaded. I have a couple gun that have never seen anything but reloads.

All my 28 is pretty much hand loaded unless I need hulls, and use only steel in my 20 these days for the most part, so it's factory stuff.
All my center fire rifle ammo is hand loaded.
My black powder cartridge stuff is as well, except for getting some hulls.
I have found the factory BP loads lacking in pattern and heavy in recoil.

Being as busy as I am, if I have a few hours I am going to shoot not reload and then shoot, so I buy all my ammo a little pricy but right now all I have time for. Soon I will get a slow time then can do some reloading

7.62x39 is definitely a better buy than load your own, .223 is good to buy when you can get a deal on it.............and then have more brass to reload. And I agree .22 and light shotgun loads you are way better to buy, time vs. money wise anyways! Everything else...........load it yourself!

Depends. I load for my higher volume calibers except when I find a deal that is close to my loading cost then I will buy. Usually comes down to cost for me.

Buy, because I'm lazy and don't want to invest in reloading equipment.
However, I'm considering it. .303 is getting expensive...
