[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3793812, member: 41176"] I load hard to get and pricey ammo. Stuff for revolvers and rifles above the AR/AK platforms. I did analysis on loading 9ball, 45ACP, 5.56, and 308 (M80ball), and hands down it was not worth the effort, simply because I can buy it cheaper, especially in volume and the amount used is not practical to reload. To load 1k of 9ball, I'll use up primers and powder only to expend it in a couple weeks or less and it costs more than getting 1k online with shipping. Same with the rest of the "cheap" ammo. 45C, 357, 38 spl, 44 spl, 44 russian, 38-40, etc, I can load for less than half what new is. 6.5CM, 30-06, 260Rem, 308 (118LR), I can reload for up to a 1/3 or less than new. 77gr 5.56 is even sketchy because you can find it on occasion for the same or less than you can reload sometimes. Especially the IMI deals that pop up. [/QUOTE]
