Do you crank out hundreds or thousands in a batch?
Or do you spend infinite amounts of time trying to squeeze out every thousandth of an inch of discrepancy between each round?
Both are worth the time and money spent.
Just for the sake of discussion.
I do both.
I've got progressive presses set up for bulk pistol rounds.
Set it and forget it type stuff. I run those on days like today.
Bad weather, no chance to shoot. Just make the best of my time.
I use better weather days for small batch "test loads" for precision rifle shooting.
These don't lend themselves to "I made 1000 this evening". They're detailed, intricate. Often capable of better accuracy than I can deliver through my own shooting ability.
Then, there's the "pet load".
I don't sweat every little detail.
I don't weigh cases.
Might check the powder charge every 10th round.
But they perform just like the one before, and the one before that.
So, do you reload?
Do you handload?
