[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 1955226, member: 1403"] That ^^^ Time is money, and load development is very time consuming...I probably have around at least 25 hours average that goes into just 1 rifle that I load and set up to 1K for. Plus, your gas to and from the range. Sitting at the bench, drive time to the range and back numerous times, actual shooting time, probably puts it closer to 30 hours when it's all said and done. And that's when everything goes right and smooth. I've had some rifles that took 2x as long as others to get where they needed to meet my satisfaction and the customers I've got three binders full of targets over the years from all sorts of rifles/calibers/bullets and powder. I've also became very good at reading and analyzing targets along the way, to make it easier/faster and know which way to go. $500 for 25-30 hours seems fair, actually pretty **** cheap at $16-20/hr for my time...It cuts into my loading and shooting time tremendously. With work, a wife, and 4 huskys to also take care of, it leaves me very little "free" time of my own to begin with. If you think I'm doing it for nothing, y'all are crazy haha. No FFL here, all local stuff. And far as I'm concerned, the government can keep their greedy fingers off my cash money I make on the side. What they dont know, wont hurt them, F em! [/QUOTE]
