Okay... Firstly I'm not a big bean counter fan. Even though my wife used to be a cost accountant...
I've put together a spreadsheet to show how much I'm saving reloading and how it's paying off all the hardware I keep needing to buy.
I've included everything that goes into making a round, including media for the tumbler, pro-rated for each type of round. (Except of course for labor... It's part of a hobby... so...)
I'm currently only reloading .45ACP and 9mm, and will eventually do .38 Special.
Including everything brings the price of the reloaded round up quite a bit. (I need to buy bullets in bulk, obviously, as that's where most of the dollars hide.
My question is... Since I'm not including any of the hardware in the price of reloading each round and am just subtracting how much I'm saving from the hardware cost... Is that a viable approach from an accounting standpoint?
Also... Can I look at this from a different perspective? Can I keep ALL expenses in one bucket and subtract the actual market value of what's produced from that?
Tanx...
