Still didn't work.I think reloading costs to much I would like to deter all of you to quit reloading and save you some money and then I might could find components. David

Nice. What with? How far?This is why I reload.View attachment 320749
Come to Canada and enjoy all the same high prices and rifle restrictions. If the Canadian government keeps advancing their nonsensical approach to gang violence and dealing with gun crime, there won't be anything to reload other then….. we'll.. they'll neverUmmmm, can't get a Visa for your country, so no they wouldn't love to have me.
It is what it is.
Cheers.
There are barrels and there are barrels. I priced some pretty high dollar barrels, and some good but inexpensive barrels.Barrel are barrels, there will wear out no matter what, If I shoot reloads or factory.
He must be shooting Hammer bullets. Sierra's, run around 35 cents a round and Nosler partitions around $1.00 per round. Get into the high class (read high cost bullets) and $3.00 a round is not all that uncommon these days.$3 per round? Are you throwing your brass away after every shot?
FOMO?First of all I am not trying induce depression or deter people from starting to jump into the world of hand loading. I just am trying or shed some light on the real costs of this wonderful hobby I finally picked up a couple of years ago. For the competition shooter or the individual looking for consistent top notch accuracy out of their rifle, it will always make sense regardless of the costs. However, with the current cost of components, it is shocking to add up the cost of a hand loaded cartridge.
I just ran a quick component estimate for a round of 7RM using the cost of recent component purchases. I am approaching $3.00 per round in raw materials without factoring in the equipment/tool expense or time commitment. I realize that the cost of premium factory ammo is often times more expensive, but the wow factor of current reloading cost has me looking at the amount of times I visit the range and how many rounds of what rifle I will be firing.
In the end it reinforces the buy cheap and stack deep approach to reloading. Panic buying due to the FOMO syndrome is not a smart move.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
Me, too.No, it is definitely not worth it! Therefore, I would encourage everyone to stop doing it, or certainly don't start doing it.
Well, everyone except for me! I'm absolutely going to keep doing it... ;-)
Fear of Missing Out. Particularly tied to the real estate market where 'fear' was driving insane bidding wars. People threw away common sense because they feared missing out on a home.FOMO?
y'all gonna pay the freight ? cause it's gonna be a 40 footer fullI change my mind...It is NOT worth it...
All of you who are on the fence...send me all your powder, primers, components, tools
Don't go buy any components...
Just leave everything to us who don't mind the time and cost...and the satisfaction when we succeed!!
You send my a 40 footer I'll gladly pay the freight! I can retire on that in todays prices!y'all gonna pay the freight ? cause it's gonna be a 40 footer full
