Miguels Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 i looked into reloading once.. the cost of powder, casings, bullets and primers cost just as much as buying factory rounds my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Depending on what you're loading you can divide the cost of casings by anywhere between 3-10.I get my casings by saving factory ammo and loading those. I can load 9mm for $11.50/100. Multiply that by 1100/hr if I'm loading fast and the savings add up quick ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 how many times can you reuse the casings? my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 its not just about cost when you talk reloading. I have rounds that are tailored to my game gun. I won my last match overall. I won by .82 seconds. If my gun didn't shoot extremely flat and I couldn't shave a tenth of a half of a tenth off my times I would have finished second. When you start running on the ragged edge you need every advantage you can get. Same goes for the precision guys and those guys who shoot a thousand yards plus. There's a lot more to it than cost. I build my ammo just like I build my truck. In he end something goes wrong it's all on me with no one to blame.

n8ball2013 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Depends on caliber. 9mm can be used basically until they split.

SnowDrifter Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've got 8x on a smaller batch of 9mm, only had to toss out a handful so far. Edit I should add I got those reloaded from a manufacturer so who knows how many times they've been through.454 brass, haven't shot enough through to have any case failures yet. On my 3rd run through them.Straight wall brass lasts a LONG time ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Oh and another thing. You don't really save money I've found. I just shoot more for the same money.

Miguels Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Oh and another thing. You don't really save money I've found. I just shoot more for the same money. isnt that the point? i want to shoot more, seems like youre getting more for your money my guns didnt do too well on reloads from a range. the guns they had did good but mine jammed so that means they need well done or i need to mess with the recoil spring.. maybe get a lighter one my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Or the reloads need to be tailored to your guns. Either way. My loads work with my guns specifically my game gun THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
