bummer. the lowest I've found it was $12/box, if you buy 50 or more boxes....

Group buy! Lol. I can't afford that much! I'm just gonna start reloading mine.

I'll wind up there sooner or later.

just save all brass NOW... just go for it. buying the equipment is expensive, but you don't need all that fancy stuff. just a good set of hand loading stuff... you don't need a digital scale or some fancy rotating powder thingamigger....

I'll save all the good brass. This cheap ass crap I'm using now is pretty terrible. Some just wouldn't feed right, these ones are bent so bad they will not chamber period.

I love these Hornady rounds, they shoot perfect everytime in all 3 guns I've tried them in... a Rock Island 1911, my XDm, and a glock... never an issue. I'm gonna buy these until I start reloading my own. I got a bunch of brass today and got my dies and stuff last month.

that's why I'm going to bite the bullet (pun intended) go back to Hornady

 

[4.0B2]

i'll probably buy hornady bullets for my reloads.

i use A-Max for my 30-06 loading.

 

[CHKNFKR]

yeah, Hornady makes some good shit. I'm pretty sure all of my handguns are going to be getting +P TAP, and all the long guns are going to get A-MAX. i know their 30-06 and .50 BMG A-MAX rounds are worth their weight in gold.

 

[4.0B2]

the 30-06 A-Max is the best round i've ever shot from it... and i've loaded about anything you can find at Bass Pro and Sportsman Warehouse... I've always went back to A-Max. 168 grain.

 

[CHKNFKR]

at $2/shot it ought to be one of the best.

 

[4.0B2]

I need to try to figure up what it cost me to reload... i doubt its 2 dollars a shot tho!

 

[CHKNFKR]

I bet you could reload somewhere around a quarter a shot.

 

[4.0B2]

lets figure it up. i'm curious now, prices are from Sportsman Warehouse.

bullets $30/100 which is .30 each
powder $24/pound
primers $28/1000 which is .028 each

for 30-06, the max powder load is (i think) 58 grains? there is 7000 grains in one pound, so that's 118 bullets/pound of powder... so that's 20 cents of powder per bullet

so let's add that up! lol...

.20+.30+.028= .528 a round. so say 53 cents a round

COMPARED TO
$33 a box preloaded A-max (20 rounds) which is $1.65 a round


of course we are leaving out brass and time here.... but we buy greek m2 ball 30-06 military rounds for our m1 garand, so we have brass already, and time....well, its time i'd usually be just browsing TRS so

i'll take it. i can have 3 rounds to a preloaded 1 round.




edit: even if you add in the brass (like you bought more brass each time) its $25 for 50 rounds.. so that's .02 each, which is still only 55 cents a round.

I am selling my S&W Sigma 9mm for a FN FNX 9mm.
