Fair

 

with tax my hunting rounds are like $1.40-50 ea

 

that was just based on my accumulated memory of every spacer lift thread ever

 

Ouch, hunting is even cheaper to load.

1lb of reloading powder nets you 7000 grains.

My last batch of reloads took about 42.5gr of RL15. Same batch uses Federal 210M primers and Sierra Matchkings. These are expensive consumables and loaded hot for distance (1,000 yards).

Dial it down to non-match primers, same powder, hunting bullets, with a smaller charge and you can bring that down to 30 cents per round or less.

 

I'd like to get a lot more range time with my rifle before elk season

 

Speaking of, that's one of the powders I have extra of. Roughly 40lbs of RL15 with some of it sitting in my sealed storage

 

Reloading just takes patience, and a huge attention to detail.

Ensure you're organized as well because when you reload for various rifles and/or handguns, it's easy to mix shit up.

Next thing you know you've got some handgun powder mixed into a rifle cartridge and you blow your shit up at the range.

Seen it happen once before; action completely blown out and the shooter's face dripping in blood. Non-life threatening fortunately in his case.

 

maybe it's not for me LOL

 

Called 2 diff places to be quoted over 400 to put on the 5 lugs lift coils and spacer plus alignment. Looks like I'm gonna have to install myself, fml

 

I won't tell you how much H1000 or RL22 I have...but even for .300wm it takes about 72gr of powder which is a shit ton.

.338 will cost you roughly 6 bucks per round though.

Once anyone decides to shoot anything other than 9mm or .223/5.56 I encourage them to reload their own.

 

That Toyota shop on Priest and Elliot does good work. They're not too expensive, maybe ask there.

 

In all seriousness if someone wants to learn reloading, just tag me.

 

Can I just come over? Lol

 

My reloading dies, priming station, powder dispenser, press, etc. are all in my storage. Not looking forward to getting any of it out.

 

Ill look into it thanks! Really thinking i'm just going to do it myself, since i dont work til this weekend anyways. Ive just heard it's a soab to install so ive been avoiding it lol

 

My buddy wanted to sell me his extra Dillion 1080 cause he has 2 XL650s and I said nooooope...but auto loading a ton of magnum rounds would be so nice.

 

Well I see how it is
