[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1378945, member: 229"] To some degree, this is true. You can still hand-load for your rifle and get more accuracy than Black Hills or Federal Gold Medal Match, but when it comes down to just reloading .308 (if that's what you're asking), I can get the American Eagle 168gr OTM for around $.72/rnd and its really hard to beat that price even with reloading and while the accuracy isn't as good as hand-loads, its pretty darn good. Federal Gold Medal Match is often available for around $1/rnd when it goes on sale. That's only about $.20-.30/rnd more than hand-loads (last time I checked, it might actually be more expensive than $.70-.80/rnd for good components now days - I haven't looked in a while). Sure takes a lot of shooting to make up for the initial cost of reloading equipment. I'm not trying to talk you out of it because if I had the time, I'd reload, but for me it was an issue of time and not money (I just don't see that the money benefit justified the extra time that I don't have right now). Now, if you're going to reload multiple calibers or you're really into shooting tiny groups at long-distances (and you've got the rifle to do it), then its probably worth it. [/QUOTE]
