45 ACP has gone up 3 bucks a box...and my 45 inventory is low.  ETA: I was purchasing a soft case for my M1A today, took a look at 45 ACP and about lost my lunch.  |

When it comes to pistol calibers, you have to be insane not to reload. I can reload pistol ammo for the price of the primer and powder charge, by recasting reclaimed lead the bullet only costs time and a few pennies for heat. The nine costs me 4 cents to reload. Makes pistol carbine conversion a good idea as well. |
My carry loads are reloads and I use copper jackets in both the Glock 19 and the 460 Rowland, the copper jacleted hollow points cost me 6.5 cents each, still cheap for self defense ammo. |
So... how much do you charge per round?

It is very satisfactory to sit down and punch out 300 rounds an hour without breaking a sweat. So instead of watching several hours of TV a week I reload. Right now I'm in my "Finding-the-optional-69-grain-round-for-my-rifle" stage. Next week it may be my "I'm-going-to-punch-out-a-1000-rifle-rounds-in-three-days" stage. It is a Zen thing. That is if Zen talked about the end of the world while punching out cartridges and alternately praising and cursing his parents existence. |
