Ammo Price Alert

[jaydubya]

+1 on www.mastercast.net. I almost feel like a shill for them, I blow their horn so much. I've been stung by reloading services before (read: National Bullet Company), so when I find a company as reliable, inexpensive and prompt as Mastercast, I do my best to help them stay in business.

And send them your spent brass for reloading for even more savings. Do it USPS Priority Mail. I send a thousand cases that way for a bit over eight dollars. Any other way I know of costs over twenty.

Cordially, Jack

Sorry that didn,t help you chupacabrah, the first time I ordered I bought 2000 rounds the last time it was 3000 rounds. Maybe thats why it seemed cheaper. With the shipping both ways between PA. and Ohio it was about 8 or 9 something a bag of 50 125g. JHP 357.

actually, after i posted i realized i didnt take into effect economies of scale.... i'll definitely hit them up once i build up some brass! (>1000)

This is why I got into reloading two years ago. Right now, Rem UMC .40 ammo is on sale for $15/box. I've got several thousand rounds loaded up, at a cost of $6/box.

I'm also shooting my 22 a lot more, since that only runs about 3 cents/round.

You can get started reloading for under $200 in equipment with a Lee Anniversary kit (about $100 and extras to about $70 or 80). Another $100 will get you 1,000 primers, a pound of powder and a 1,000 bullets.

Your first 1,000 rounds will cost you $15 a box (of 50).

My 45acp rounds cost me $4.10 a box and the are far more accurate out of my gun than any factory loads. I use a progressive press and turn out between 400 and 500 rounds an hour.
