Thread: Is reloading much cheaper??

Mate was paying $86 for 20 rds 308 Win Superformance 150gn SST.

At $100 for 100 projectiles in May, $86 for 500gm AR2206H and $0.21c replacement cost of primers per each it worked out from memory around $37 to reload 20 of his once fired brass. Component prices have increased but so has ammo. Just run the numbers.

Of course this does not count the investment cost of a well equipped reloading bench. For a 30-30 however and any mainstream calibre at sub 150m ranges, I'd just use a Lee Loader to load hunting rds. Lee Loader, box of pills, can of powder, couple of hundy primers and you'll bring meat home for years. If your any good lol. Minute-of-deer, or pig, or goat, is not hard to achieve with a Lee Loader. And lots of fun.

Or just make friends with someone already in the game...
