If you have $200 in equipment (quick guess, in the ballpark for Lee Turret plus dies plus accessories), then it will take $200/.1 or 2000 rounds to pay off equipment. That equipment is paid for now, so after that, your cost per round is .12.I do it that way because it would skew the numbers if you bought the press to reload 9mm, and amortized in the cost of the equipment on that price, then added .45 later. Well, you already included the cost of equipment in the 9mm price, so you can't add it to the .45.Now I've got an idea of something to do in Excel... *scurries off*</blockquote>
