I knew I was saving money, but I didn't realize how much.
I can load a box (20) of Sierra GK .243 rounds for $13.50. Current price for a box of Federal Premium GK is $36. So I am saving $22.50 per box.
That's awesome! I'll pay off my loading gear after 6 or 7 boxes of ammo!
For my .270, I could load 20 rounds of 140gr. Hornady SST for $14.76. A box of Hornady SST 140gr. costs $44. So I would be saving $29.24 per box.
The cost of the Lee Loader for .270 is $40 (I already have the rest of the gear I need), so I'd only have to load a box and a half of ammo to pay for the Lee Loader. That's insanely awesome!
