[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1874129, member: 2736"] The loading equipment is/was an investment and you are right about the pay off. But mine was bough many years ago and has more than paid for it,s self. Pistol ammo is still much cheaper to load than to buy by two or three times. Also the 20 to 30 dollar rifle ammo is not custom ammo and is not a good apples to apples comparison. Most factory custom ammo starts at $60.00 and goes up from there. Lots of factory ammo sells for over $100.00 a box of 20 and the custom ammo goes for that much for 10 rounds. When you consider that a single round may cost 5 or 6 dollars for all of the components $1.50 for the case, $2.00 per bullet, $1.00 worth of powder and a dollar for the primer (these prices are the top price paid for the components and are much cheaper than for most components needed, this means that I can load top quality ammo for $25.00 or less and in many cartridges $10.00 to $15.00 dollars a box. And in some pistols this is for 50 rounds. But as I said the cost is secondary to the quality. Time is something I have plenty of and besides I just enjoy loading and creating ammo that will far exceed my ability as a shooter. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
