    I have had my LCR 357 for two years now with about 1200 rounds fired from it. I shoot about 25% reloads and factory ammo, 25% +P and 50% 357 mag. I must be a masochist because I love shooting the 357...

    For me reloading is a hobby. It is relaxing and I get to go off and be by myself for a while. The biggest benefit however is the improved accuracy of my reloads. Not necessarily with the self defense...
