[QUOTE="trhall, post: 1547335, member: 26233"] It all depends on how much you are going to shoot and what kind of performance you want. If you take the 300 wm for an example there are only a couple places where you can get custom ammo made that would be equivalent to what you can create reloading. Let's use Copper Creek Cartidge [URL]https://coppercreekammo.com/[/URL]. For custom ammo with the 215 Berger Hybrid and quality Norma brass you're looking at $80 per box of 20. I don't factor in the cost of my reloading equipment because I think it's pretty hard to try and amortize it over a lifetime plus as most of my equipment will be passed down to my kids. Also loading for multiple cartridges adds to the complexity of figuring that out. I think the only reasonable cost comparison is using the above mentioned custom ammo verses the cartridge components. Powder - H1000 76.5gr = $0.27 per shell at $25/lb Bullet - 215 Berger $0.57 Primer - CCI 250 = $0.03 Brass - Winchester = $0.55 ea usable 10 time = $0.05 Total cost = $0.92 ea x 20 = $18.40 per box compared to $80 It doesn't take alot of shooting over a few years to recover you initial spend.
