[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1874853, member: 111854"] For comparison, I can buy either 6.5 PRC Hornady Precision Hunter or the Hornady Match ammo online for $30/box. They both shoot around 1/2 moa. The match is better for me. the 30 boxes would give me 600 rounds. Total cost is $900. That is a $1.50 a round. My varmint loads I get 50 rounds for $25 - my gun shoots these 1/2moa. So my cost for 600 varmint loads is $300 or $0.50 a round. Even without taking into consideration your time, its pretty dang close to your reloading numbers. Add the value of time to reload - let’s say it takes 10 hours to knock out 600 rounds. I am valuing my time at $75/hour - that’s what my job tells me I am worth. Even if you value yours much lower, let’s say 30/hour. It adds up quickly. [/QUOTE]
