[QUOTE="Rainwater, post: 5092, member: 333"] Let's say the powder is $16 a pound (which is ball park for 8 pound lots). If you load 70grs you get 100 rounds per pound. You can get bullets for about $21 a box of 100. Primers go for about $75 for 5,000. Powder = $0.16 per round. Bullet = $0.21 per round. Primer = $0.015 per round. So 20 rounds = $7.74 = 79% savings Tell her, "Honey, this is like having an 80% off sale at the dress store." Do not tell her we have ignored shipping, taxes, and hazardous duty fees. Also do not mention you will now be shooting 10 times as much in addition to putting in more quality time with the reloader than with her. Of course you would never dream of trying any of the 75 bullets, 12 powders, 6 primers, or 5 types of cases other people suggest. Finally, pretend they give away reloading presses, dies, scales, benches, and the 50 other gadgets you will get. And in the future never, ever make the mistake I did of telling her how many thousands of dollars you saved her by reloading. She just may save you that much at the dress store. [/QUOTE]
