I recently calculated the cost of one box of 45ACP. $3.10. This is not paying for lead, just the primers, powder and cost of brass bought used at 20 loadings per case. I'll probably get mor than that. As previously said, this does not include the cost of equipment.
I did get a laugh though when Blammer said "you must buy only one mold, though". Now that's just funny. You're the man, Darrell!!! enjoy Mike
