Sweetness...
Whelp there goes 1 pound of Varget.. Well almost, i've made 230rnds of .223.. it's all good now.. So i'm trying to figure how much it costs.. 7000grains to a pound, 25grains per charge. thats 280charges. Say i use up an exact amount (yea right) that comes to .10cents a charge. 500 bullets of 69grain sierras were 55$ that comes to .11cents a bullet. Primers were 20$ for 1,000 so thats .02cents. .23cents a cartridge eh.. So 50rnds is 11.50$ and 23$ for 100rnds. That doesn't count the labor of case trimming and the whole loading thing. So how does that compare to already made stuff? Well for match ammo, i find 25rnds of hornandy customs for 13.50$, a box of remington match loads 20rnds for 14.50$.. Ooo Federal Gold Medal Match bullets with the same 69gr Sierra is for 20/rnds 18$ goodness! Now i'm not saying that i'm making the gourmet stuff, but i would like to believe it. So thats the high-end the low end can go as low as $2.69 for 20rnds which is equivalent to $6.73 for 50.
i've talked to some reloaders and one recommends me to go to Scharch.com where they sell brass either resized already with no primer, or resized and with a primer in them.. pretty nifty, so all ya had to do was load the powder and bullet and thats it.. hmm wonder how much that costs up to.
Whelp i know they work, but let's see if they work accurately.. heh.
