Okay, guys, and then ammortize the cost of your press, the dies, the powder measure, the trimmer, the case cleaner.
It ain't cheap ammo. But it rounds out the whole process. It's fun, and you get to make bullets that are custom made for your rifle/pistol.
I bought and paid for my equipment when I was shooting around 5,000 rounds of pistol ammo a year, and I was casting my own lead, so the equipment was paid for in short order over even buying someone elses reloads.
Because of that, I don't claim the wear and tear on my equipment. Besides, I bought RCBS, so it doesn't wear out.
