[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3053931, member: 41653"] I can reload full power 44Mag for under 20¢ per rd, if I purchase lead, or coated bullets. If I cast them, I can cut that cost in half. I still load 9mm, with plated it's at 12¢/rd, loaded. My cast, well, 3¢ for a primer, 2¢ for powder. What's the lead worth ? Before y'all start yammering about $5/hr time, well, it's a hobby. I do it because I like to. I don't drink, smoke, or hang out in bowling alleys. And, you cannot buy the rounds I can load. I can load to a specific velocity, or for a specific projectile. I load 9mm rounds that have enough energy to cycle the slide, and the brass falls 2 feet to my right - no chasing brass in the bushes. If you don't enjoy doing it, buy factory. It's funny, some folks can't stand the thought of lead projectiles, but don't blink at shooting steel cased ammo. [/QUOTE]
