Some times it seems like a expensive way to save money,
But being able to load rounds that you can't buy that your rifle really likes is a worthwhile skill set.
About .70 each for match 223/308/6 mm
40 gr of 4064 under a 87 vmax=3426 fps.. that one is a keeper.
A dime for lead 38/9 mm
13 cents for lead 45
I like being insulated from ammo demands, and enjoy the craft for its own merits.
Once you get past the, "gee that gizmo would make things easier" stage.
Not yet. I'm making no changes at all until after the big match, and then I'll be doing some research on different rounds that meet my accuracy needs and cost less. I'm starting to think it's not going to happen though. All I need is 2-3" group at 25 yards. I haven't found a plated bullet that will do that yet. It's just frustrating that a cast bullet will do it just fine, as will a true jacketed round. I'm probably out of the lead bullet game for good, so that leaves jacketed.Originally Posted by Airgator0470
Yeah, that's not going to be my any time soon! I see it as a necessary chore, but a chore nonetheless.
