shotshell reloading? Really worth it?

I would be looking at a Lee Load-All 2 for around $40. I know that a reload is usually more consistent than a cheap walmart load, but at about the same price. Give me your opinions.

Sharp shooter, I shoot a lot of skeet and 5 stand with 3 gauges 12, 20 and 410. I reload for all my target shooting. I will shoot between 400 to 600 rounds a month. and for a lot of target shooters that is a very modest amount. I save money because I buy components in volume and get a deal on shot by working with a guy who makes homemade shot. The big savings come for subgauges. 419 shells cost over $10 a box. I user Mec equipment which is very versatile because it is easy to adjust for different charges and crimping. In your question, with you shooting 12 ga or 20 ga and loading with a Lee, you will not see any benefit and be disappointed with the performance of the Lee. Buy the Wally world 100 round target packs and enjoy. Factory loads in fact are very good and consistent.
