Cost of Cartridges.
________________________________________
Someone asked me what it cost for a box of cartridges the other day on the forum so here it is. Now this is what it cost me at the prices I pay for my supplies. Your price may vary up or down.
Using the on line calculator at this link here's what I came up with. http://www.handloads.com/calc/loadingCosts.asp
One round=$.118, 50rds=$5.91, and 1,000rds=$118.20.
I don't buy new shells. I buy once fired at [email protected],000rds. That was figured in the above figures. I use brass until it splits or I lose it and at some point it cost you nothing. So here’s the figure without the brass.
One round=$.07, 50rds=$3.56, and a 1,000=$71.25.
This was based on a .45cal load using an 185gr lswc and 5.3grs of powder plus Winchester LP primers and range brass.
