Hey guys. I was thinking of getting into relaoding soon, but what with the price of just aobut anything gun related going out of control, it looks like for the time being, reloading is MORE expensive than the surplus stuff I was getting. I wanted to reload for my M1, but after doing the math, it looks like to reload using the cheapest parts I could find (save powder, IMR 4895) AND using already fired brass, it'll still cost ~$65.00 for 200 rounds as opposed to greek surplus at $50 for 192. I suppose i'll buy as much of that surplus as i can and save all the brass for when the supply dries up, but jeez, this is rediculous.
Would reloading for pistol (357) be cheaper than commercial in this case? And at this rate, even for a cheap Lee turret press and all the associated goodies, how many YEARS will it take for it to pay for itself?
