Is It Worth It?

[PhilC]

I`m completely aware of handicaps with not hand loading. My major issue is space. It`s my impression that one needs dedicated and very organized space to hand load properly.

I've seen operating table clean to how you can find anything in that pile of stuff loading benches as well as fit in a closet setups too. When starting out it's good practice to have a clean, quiet, work space. Distractions are the worst possible scenario when starting out, attention to detail is critical.

That said, I find time at the bench calming, therapeutic, and enjoyable. Like Charlie said, start small and simple, the fundamentals are more important than the latest greatest do it all system. Plenty of time to ugrade and expand later.
