Wondering what the cost+ would be vs manufactured rounds. How long to amortize the equipment ... and powder. Then scales. I think it’d be a fun thing to do provided you can get all the stuff needed. Then too, last time I was at the range this guy had this device that measured velocity.
I figure I got my money back in the first 18 months or so, easy. Of course I had to have a chronograph, digital scale, go, no go gauges, and the like. Not exactly necessary, but real handy to have.
But like I said, I was really more interested in acquiring the skill set than I was in saving money.
I can reload .223 and 9mm for about $.22 and 30-06 for about $.50 with store bought bullets.
If you cast your own the price drops to $.06 and $.21 respectively.
Just remember when you couldn't get ANY ammo for ANY price. A $30 Lee Loader would be worth it's weight in gold.
