It is a great money-saver. << You hit the nail on the head. Time is money. For quite a while I bulk loaded. It got to be very time consuming. You'd think the more a person shoots, the more they save loading from bulk. I found it's just the opposite. It wasn't a big deal to load my own cartidges when I only shot a couple of rolls a month. But the more I shot, the more cumbersome it became. It got to be a real chore. I grew sloppy. I had some mishaps. The final straw was when I rolled 100' of TMX thinking it was TMY. I shot most of it before I developed any and realized my mistake. I still bulk load occasionally, but mainly to have shorter rolls - 12-15 exp. They come in handy sometimes. Dave
