[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1874884, member: 2736"] I may have another way of looking at this. Factory ammo Is production ammo, and loaded very fast, so small differences can/will be missed. hand loaded ammo takes more time but not that much if you use a progressive press. Hand loading with a single stage press even longer. If you are extra careful and monitor each loaded round it takes even longer. then add the extra steps to produce the sub 1/4 moa ammo and you add even more time. then you add the final element "The Loader" some are faster than others, I am probably slower than many because loading is not a job and I enjoy doing it, so I don't care how long it takes and don't worry about how much time it takes. If I were worried about the cost/time I would buy a progressive and knock it out. Hand loading is not only a fun hobby, It is a good stress reliever, and the satisfaction of shooting/hitting something the size of a dime at several hundred yards consistently is "priceless". So I think that any time number will be different from person to person and have no real bearing on average cost. I have found that it is much harder to earn money, than it is to spend money. You can work a week to earn your pay check and in a matter of a few hours at a mall have it all spent. Loading is not for everyone, but some enjoy it enough that if it were more expensive they would still Hand load. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
