Wasnt averaging.Are you averaging the life of the brass, or just saying brass is X per piece of new brass?
Admin-How much does firing a shot cost you?
My wildcat costs about $3.98 per firing.

Lapua brass is 3 dollars per piece.
Powder is .50 cent per round
Primer is .25 cent
Bullet is 1.75 dollars per round
I should get 5 firings per piece of brass (maybe more….so roughly .75 cent per shot
Total 3.25 per shot which is half or less what a hunting round would cost from the factory.
Most people don’t average the life of the brass which inflates the cost per round.
Calculating cost per round is like using a borescope.
Exactly! Not dependent on what THEY think is a good idea either.yeah, Im not in this for the cost savings....
I remember when I was curious about reloading, reloaders would tell me "savings" was a major factor. Something told me that might be exaggerated...
For pistol shooters and tactical shooters maybe but my only interest is hunting ammo. I coulda bought a whole new rifle with nice scope for everything Ive invested in reloading stuff.
But now Im happy Im no longer dependent on stupid factory ammo supply chain issues, priceless.
