I reload for everything. 250gr 3.4gr of clays. 200gr wadcutters are notoriously accurate but I haven't loaded them in awhile so no load info.

Yes I reload for every caliber I shoot.
I used to shoot 100-200 rds when I bought ammo, last time I went to the range I put 550rds through my baer. My plinking load that my baer loves and its pretty accurate is: precision delta 230gr fmj 5.4 gr of win 231

I reload 9,45,40 and 380 but mostly .45.Quick question for most seasoned loaders -do most of your loads meet say idpa major of 165?I usually load to make major regardless of bullet weight and have yet to determine if 230GRN@750FPS OR 185GR@900FPS will be better for the matches? any opinions or input appreciated.

Reloading is the only way to go if you really enjoy shooting. You are very limited in factory loads. By loading your own, you can test a broad range of bullet types and powders. You will see a lot of competitive shooters and action shooters who develop "pet loads" that achieve specific objectives for their sport. Some desire very light recoil to reduce the time back onto target for the next shot. You will see competitive shooter recipes " 185 grain Dardas LSWC with 4.0 Grains of bullseye; seated at 1.65 or" "200 gr Penn LWC with 4.7 grains of WST seated at 2.45". Tons of pet loads, used in a lot of competitions - using Unique, Bullseye, WST, Clays, etc. Reloading let's you test loads and develop specific loads for specific purposes. You will see people who use a load that has turned out to be very accurate in THEIR gun .. for knocking down steel plates at 10 yards. They will use - maybe the same bullet but a different powder charge - for bowling pins at 25 yards. Reloading adds a totally new - and interesting - facet to shooting. I can't imagine myself, shooting without reloading. I remember 12 years ago when I bought a pair of Colt 45 SAA's. Put 12,000 rounds through them in 2 years. Different bullets, powders, until you get a pet load for a purpose. Settled on 200 grain LRN with 4.5 grains of AA Select for pistols and 250 Grain for Lever gun (45 Colt chambered Marlin lever action with peep sight = a fun gun for plinking. Superbly accurate and zero recoil .. great bush gun). Bought a 357 SAA, and it has never seen factory ammo. Never BOUGHT factory ammo until the LB for the first 200 rounds of breakin.
