Thread: Has the price of cartridges gone up?.

It depends on the components you use.


Primer - 0.27
Brass - Lapua SRP at $330/100 - assume 10 firings - 0.33
147gr ELDM - 1.09
Powder - 2209 at 41.5gr - $180/kg - 371 rounds per kg, 0.48 per round

$2.17 per round

If you go with Reloder powders, fancy bullets - it gets more expensive fast.

If you go with free brass, it gets a bit cheaper. There aren't many bullets that are substantially cheaper.
