[QUOTE="Lowedown, post: 2368542, member: 110204"] I got into reloading to: create more consistent ammo, enjoy the process, learn and experiment, and be able to shoot more for with the money I had. Thankfully I planned way ahead on primers, and have done ok on powders/bullets etc. I am an opportunistic shopper and have kept from being backed into any corners where I "Had to have it for any price". I just picked up 2 boxes of 143 ELD-x for $39.99 each. I picked up lots of brass early on and am currenly loading 6.5 creedmoor for $.74 per round, 7mm RM for $1.17 per round. both with ELD-X bullets and including brass wear. Maybe its just my part of the world, but I have not run out of components while trading some, and scavenging consistently for reasonable prices. I have not paid over $55 for a pound of powder, a box of bullets, or a brick of primers. However, I can understand for some people shoot much more than me and have had to pay through the nose over the past year, and that sucks. In the end reloading should continue to pencil out, as long as you don't count your time ;) which for me is enjoyable time anyways. [/QUOTE]
