Hand Loader

 is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects
You know your way around a reloading bench and don't let good brass and hulls go to waste. When you use Guns, you are more likely to recover cases and hulls. You also have all hand load recipes unlocked at any of the wasteland's Reloading Benches.

Tested with Avenger Minigun, 3000 rounds of 5mm: 615 Base Recovery Rate, 1181 with Perk. Conclusion: 20.5% Base Recovery, ~40% with perk. You also get various (seemingly unique?) hand loaded recipes for a few calibers. The unique .308 comes with a x1.5 DMG modifier with no penalties.
