[QUOTE="Tangent, post: 1877795, member: 110477"] Are you honestly not getting the point that many of us have posted time and time again? I'll try one last time: If reloading is a separate independent hobby that you enjoy, go nuts. If you want to make up numbers to make yourself feel better or rationalize costs, go nuts If you want to perform a true cost comparison you must include all tools, materials, and labor. That's how a cost comparison works. You don't get to say that brass is used more than once so it's free. It's not free, and you need to spread out the cost over the number of times that material is used. You don't get to ignore the price of your equipment - you amortize over number of rounds made with said equipment. You can get slightly more involved if you truly want a life cycle cost, but above is the absolute bare bones minimum - tools, material, and labor. Whether you realize it or not, you have assigned a value to your time of $0.00/hour. Myself and others have stated that our time is more valuable than $0.00 at this point in our lives. Maybe in 30 years, I will say my time is free, but not now. Nobody is saying that you are wrong for doing something you like. Some of us are just pointing out that your cost comparisons are riddled with holes. [/QUOTE]
