Interest in old reloading tools has increased in recent years partly because a number of articles and texts have been published highlighting the significance and awareness of them. The prices for collectible guns has increased significantly, and some have voiced concern that collectible firearms will come under increasing scrutiny by government regulatory agencies.

The collecting of reloading tools has served to supplement the gun collector's efforts as well as providing a distinct collecting field requiring less monetary outlay by individuals. Despite a relatively sharp increase in demand for collectible loading tools, many are still available for modest prices at gun collector's shows throughout the country. The diversity of products, calibers and price ranges make collecting reloading tools possible for almost anyone.
