I didn't want to hijack the "should I reload" thread, but from a $ standpoint, how does cost/round compare factory ammo, specifically for .308, .300RM or 7mmRM? Is it any more cost-efficient than store-bought ammo?

I have access to all the equipment I'd need except maybe needing to by a caliber-specific set of dies. So, with most of the overhead of the equipment already out of the way, how does the cost/round compare to off the shelf hunting ammo? I can buy good hunting ammo off the shelf for around $1.25/round....can you load equal quality for less $, or better quality for equal (or less) $?


There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
