[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3053835, member: 423"] By my calculations, you can save about $40/1000 using coated lead bullets, or about $15/1000 using jacketed. Bulk .223 55gr you can save about $25/1000. Considering that's about 5 hours worth of work for me, not including brass prep, it makes my time only worth $5/hr. Or in other words, not worth it. I can load 9mm a little faster, and brass prep is considerably easier; but I figure about $10/hr value for coated lead 9mm which is still only questionably worth while. Compare that to .300 blk using coated lead rounds for subsonic, and my value calc goes to $33/100rds or $65/hr. Or precision .243 Win where I can save $30+ PER 20 ROUNDS. [/QUOTE]
