Practically speaking, the people who shoot often enough to get the best value out of their reloading gear are usually target shooters: trap, skeet and sporting clays enthusiasts. To become good at these games, to consistently break 90 percent or more of thrown clays, often takes years of practice, lessons and continuous shooting. In the process, enthusiasts shove a whole lot of shells into the chamber, a minimum of several boxes every trip to the range. A day of sporting clays shooting can be 100 birds and many shooters like to warm up with a quick, 25-round of 5-Stand or even a game of wobble trap. Outings like this empty six boxes of shells in a hurry, perhaps twice that if the shooter is addicted to multiple gauges!

Personally, I think that the people who enjoy shooting most and who stick with it the longest, making it a lifetime sport, are those who have a diverse range of interests. They are clay shooters and they are hunters, too. Reloading is ideal (for many reasons) for these committed gunners.
