My father also started me reloading.......I think that he did it for cost savings primarily, he didn't have much extra, and he didn't shoot a lot, he just got us shooting and hunting. Shotgun, handgun, and rifle, we loaded it all, and he also introduced me to casting. When I look back at it, it was a way for him to create family time while we were at home.....and created the satisfaction of "Making something" rather than just buying it. I also owe him a lot....He was a great example about putting his children ahead of his own wants and desires.
Once I started reloading on my own, the bug of perfection/premium bullets caught on and it kinda switched from cost savings to better ammo. Fast forward to now, and I'm too invested to do anything else, so I just reload . I won't say I save money, but I will say I shoot more because I reload. Many good memories at the reloading bench, and I hope I can pass that on to my children!
