I just ran the math on my current loads, which, if you've remembered earlier posts, is the most expensive version of reloading I do.

With a Montana Gold (big in the gun games, but outside of that not many people have heard of them) 180 grain non-expanding JHP, a Winchester primer, and Titegroup powder, I'm getting very accurate loads at .18 per round. I just checked some of the online crawlers and the cheapest stuff I could find comparable was Freedom at .24 per round before shipping (there were cheaper .40 loads, but they were lighter than 180 grains and none lower than .23). My .18 figure includes hazmat on the powder as well as the primers.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone was wondering if it was still cost-effective to reload.

And, I'd put my FMJ reloads against Freedom's plated remanufactured all day long.

I just realized even reloading I spend an ass-ton of money on ammo in a year.
