[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1874257, member: 2736"] I'm not trying to justify reloading with cost but for the people that shoot the big bores it is the only way to go. Some center fire ammo cost as much as$18.70 per round but can be loaded for as little as $3.50 per round with the same components. That is a 5 + times saving. typical long range magnums are still less expensive to load than buy, but again the quality will always be better that factory ammo. especially if your accuracy expectations are less than 1/4 MOA. The quality of the loaded ammo is directly related to the time spent loading it. I have seen some very good accuracy with some forms/brands of custom factory ammo. But none have shot consistent 1/10th MOA groups that I have seen, and I wouldn't expect that of them anyway because of the way they are loaded and the different rifles they are fired in. This is one of those issues/debates that will never be agreed on because of the difference in shooters requirements. I cant think of a single example of a bench rest shooter using or winning with factory loads. I also know many hunters that are happy with 1.5 to 2'' MOA so the real difference in in the shooter. 👍 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
