I'm not quite sure what the price would be if it were cheaper to buy ball than reload.

I have not priced stuff in a long time in bulk. But primers by the case and surplus powder when there was powder, and bulk bullets, of course not counting labor of love time, but components have always been cheaper than ammo. Brass case being one of the high dollar items... Times may have changed

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
