I have seen foreign made ammo cheaper. Is this a good deal?
Ammoman seems to be out right now.
IMHO, you guys are foolish to pay $0.50+ per round for 7.62x51 ammo.
The very cheapest way to go is 13 bucks plus shipping from Cabelas for a Lee Classic Loader, and you would also need some case lube which will be 6 dollars, and some way to clean the brass.
On rare occasion I will run 5000 rounds of 10mm through just because I have lots of components laying around, but the reloading thing isn't always as economical as it appears if you factor your time in.
Bazooka Joe, if you meant the Lee Classic Loader which I mentioned, its 13 bucks + shipping. It has everything you need for one caliber. You will also need case lube which will last for at least 300 rounds and will cost 6 bucks. You will need a non metal hammer, but I bet you already have one.
I go to the range and shoot. If I cared that my time was money, I guess I could pay someone to take my guns to the range and shoot 'em, clean 'em, and put 'em up. Then I wouldn't have to do it or pay myself to do it.
