Had to go to wally-world today and took a look at the pistol amm0----sticker shock set in as its been a while since i bought any off the shelf.
Everything is going up.
be it the simple cost of doing business to
paying for higher fuel, mining, demand, war effort, etc. etc.
Always like to encourage people to get into reloading. To figure the cost per round or per box is easy.
Lets see---when at wally-world I noticed that winchester white box 100 ct of 45acp was running a bit over $32.00
reloading components
hard cast lead 230 gr rn -------$28.00/500
one pound powder win 231--------$21.00/pound(7000 grains)
winchester lge pistol primers---$03.00/100
brass--free to pick up
break it down per round to reload
bullets -.056 cents
powder---.015 cents
primer---.o3 cents
adds up to roughly .10 cents/rd X 100 rds = $10.00/box 100rds
want fmj instead of lead bullet---cost goes up to roughly $21.00/100 rds.
Either way it beats the heck out of $32.00/100rds factory
Amounts will vary according to your loads/componets.
Reloading--(at least in my case)is a good hobby + it saves the money!
