Ammo is so damn expensive
« on: May 09, 2026, 08:21:39 PM »
I'm glad I got into reloading.

Went to the gun shop the other day a box of 20 rounds 124 grain 9mm were $26, very limited.  I about had a heart attack.

I just did my calculations and if its correct.
My rounds are $.18 a round
I make 1842 rounds per pound of n320 at 3.8grains per round
Casing free. Collecting from ranges.
Bullets right now are free won little over 1400.
But even after I use them and resupply it will be .29 a round

Cremation would be a bolder send-off!

It would also prevent anyone from trying to rob his grave.   :geekdanc: :thumbsup:

Whenever I see brass hit the ground it'll be calling me: "Pick me up Pick me up"
