Why reload if you "shoot little"?

I tend to agree but back in the olden days people reloaded because
there was not much in high performance ammo loaded commercially. Now
that is not really an issue in the popular calibers.
You can still load a performance cartridge for about 50 cents less
than a commercially loaded one.
It still might make sense in rifle calibers too.

Other than that, reloading is a way to shoot relatively cheap if your
time is worth less to you than your money and you don't mind cast
bullets.

Keep in mind that 'when I started shooting', for someone with Krause's knowledge and experience, was
probably about 45 years ago. Ammo was a bit cheaper then.
