RustyBones
assuming the equipment is free, what is an average cost to reload 50 rounds of 44mag or 45-70?

    If I figure my time into the equation of handloading I would be way ahead to work the same amount of time, make some easy money and just buy the ammo.
    I enjoy handloading though and believe I can taylor the ammo to the guns.

    I don't count the time, because if I wasn't reloading I'd be doing something else "constructive", like surfing the net or watching the idiot box. Now if my reloading was taking me away form something that paid $$ that would be a different story.

    It's just like sseexx.
    The more you do it, the more you want to.
    Once you start, you hate to stop.
    Keep at it, and you'll get a big bang out of it.

    well said, so many people think their free time is worth money. and if it is I want their job.

    40% of retail is my general rule, using jacketed bullets.
