If you look at it like that, that is cheap!

I bet I had over $1000 in my first round and I don't even own anything blue.

That's a $200 round or $200 cartridge.  

Sorry, pet peeve.  Kind of like when people call magazines clips.

Is it heat seeking?

Now go get yourself an American made riflle with matching case for $400 to go along with your  $200 bullet, a new pair of hunting boots, a pair of wrap-around shades, a six-pack of tall, cold beer, good hunting dog, a 4x4 pick-em-up truck, a pinch of Coopenhagen between the cheek and gum, a pretty girl by your side  and you've got a match made in heaven!

Good luck pardner and happy hunting!

I think my cost per cartridge is approaching infiniti since I've been accumulating reloading equipment, brass, bullets, powder and primers for over 10 years now and haven't reloaded a single frikkin' round yet. The press has only been fondled in the box and has never been set up.  Maybe this year I'll finally get to it....

My first bullet was well over $200.  It all paid for itself after I started reloading 45 ACP.  After 1000's of rounds I can feel really good about spending all that money.

My sister is going to school in kentucky, apparently people there say they need to "un thaw things" when they take them out of the freezer

You can undoubtedly find someone on this forum that lives close by to help you get setup and over the hump to get the first round loaded, and even more exciting, fired.

Well, this might be the year.  My wife gave me a reloader/dies/kit&kaboodle in the early 90's when I was thinking I about reloading 45ACP.  For our anniversary last month, she gave me a Stag 6H upper, so I'm thinking it might be fun to load some of the 75GR HPBT I have coming in from Wideners in the near future and see what I can do with them.

When I have time, I don't have the money...when I have the money, I don't have the time. :(
