[QUOTE="fatcpa, post: 1557917, member: 11311"] I pretty much agree with Copper01. To get a realistic cost per you round should spread the cost of the brass over the expected number of reloads. I know that depends on a lot of things, but for my purposes, I usually say I can get 10 reloads out of brass when I start with new brass. Some get more, some less, but I usually lose it before I wear it out. That said, I pay about $100 for 500 pieces of Starline brass from Midway USA (cost of brass + postage). That's 20 cents per piece. Divide that by the expected life of 10 reloads equals 2 cents per reload. Add that to Copper01's 14 cents per round cost and get 16 cents per round or $8 per box. The going rate in Duncan right now for a box of 45 acp is around $22 a box. If you average 6 boxes a month, that's an average savings of $84 per month. At that rate, it doesn't take too long to pay for the equipment. [/QUOTE]
