[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2478546, member: 12282"] If you just want to kill some meat, and don't have the need for precision reloaded rounds, and don't enjoy practicing, and don't enjoy reloading, then don't do it. I think if you answer yes to 2 out of three of my other criteria, then even with today jacked prices, it makes sense. Primers are still the bottle neck. If you are starting out, then buy a nice lot of factory rounds (find some Lapua) shoot them and save the brass. Get say 140 or 160. Unless you are really blasting, those should keep you shooting for a little while. Make sure they are all one lot. Not just same brand, but same load and lot. You'll get better matched brass that way. Then you will have a supply of already formed brass to your gun when the primer prices finally subside. My thoughts. Oh, and you will not 50 loadings out of most brass. With anealing, light loads, proper sizeing, and the right cartridge, you *might* get 20. Lots of basic brass is dead after 5-8 loads. Some less.
