[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1563666, member: 423"] Call me cheap... BUT... I counted up my costs for my "El Cheapo" range .38 loads: 1 (x10^3) fired range pickup brass = $0.00 (unless you count the polishing/sorting process, which you have to do anyways, so I don't) Primers = $115/5k = $0.023 Powder = 2.8grs Bullseye = $0.006 Re-Cast lead bullets = $0.01 (WAG, since I dug the lead out of the backstop, melted it, added a little flux, and cast it back into 158gr SWC's) Total per round = $0.04 + time. Otherwise known as .22 territory. Yeah, they're powder puffs out of a 4" stainless .357. But oh so fun. [/QUOTE]
