[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2013289, member: 5219"] $3.70 per round seems high Lets say the brass costs $100 for 100 pcs and you can load it 5 times. The cost is .20 a piece for the brass. Then add the amount of powder. Grains used divided by 7000 grains times cost per pound. Then add cost of each bullet. I just did a 257 weatherby. 5 firings of norma brass at $100 per 100 pcs= .20 72 gr powder / 7000 = .010 x $35 per pound = .35 berger rounded off to $50 .50 per bullet primer $50/1000 = .05 total cost per round = $1.10 Even if I did full cost for one firing of brass the cost is only $1.90 per round. I suppose some brass can cost $2.00 it would still cost less than your figure. How did you arrive at $3.70? [/QUOTE]
