control is definitely one of the big reasons to reload, whatever you like without needing to pay out the ass, like my webley needing low pressure 45 rounds to not explode and very soft, heavy bullets.
i agree you save money over the long haul, but if you put in 1k on a setup and save 30 cpr, it takes a long time to make that back if you dont shoot an awful lot and you have to consider time lost making them and learning.
not trying to imply its not worth doing, but it definitely isnt a solution for every individual
i 100% think everyone needs a reloader in their local group though, its an incredibly useful skill and makes you a lot of friends

but it sounds like you have more experience than i so ill defer to you on the subject, and ill probably ask for help on something at some point
i currently have 9mm, 45 acp, and 308 dies, next is 300 bo and then a set of bullet swaging and jacket drawing dies for 5.56 because I don't want to cast low velocity 5.56 bullets
