wss has win 147 for $15.99 item#167292

I saw that and thought it was a misprint.... That is a good price.
Epps has bags of that for $29.99 LOL I said no thanks!

Shipping would suck though

The $15 powder is surplus powder from Higginson.

sorry, no assumptions folks. i'm talking press, dies, all components needed etc, brass, primers, powder, bullets...the whole kit and caboodle. how much for 1000 rounds give or take a little? how much time would one spend rolling 1000 rounds. i ask out of ignorance as i have not reloaded, but for shotgun shells and that was 20 years ago. i'm tight and would like to know if it is the way to go is all.
thanks

i'm still trying, somebody has the bottom line don't they? i am talking one single outlay to get 1000 homerollies. assume this, i am starting with nothing, no press no brass or anything. i ask mainly so i can judge time, expenditure, and return. i know you guys can help and sorry for persisting.

the problem with reloading is you dont save 2x as much, you just shoot 2x more

 

[aka-jdub]

[aka-jdub]

unfortunates in my profession there is no shortage of demand, well not unless they come up with a cure for every disease or come up with the cure for stupidity. im not complaining i have one of the best jobs in the world(ECNALUBMA) and being a paramedic does not give my infinite knowledge but it teaches one to weed out the bs which is exactly what the price of surplus ammo is. same as the price of gas its bs oil industry has had one of the highest profit margins they have ever had yet oil is in short supply. with all do respect don't piss on my leg then tell me it raining.

Wow, with a segue like that, you have a future in the fire department.

Sucker:

leonidas is flaming this one. either that or he is ignorant of what is happening. i ask that if he knows of better ways speak up or keep it in. reloading 308 ain't cheap and i'd be a old man by the time i saw returns. the only thing imo worth reloading these days is hand gun rounds and even that is marginal.

Not a Sucker;
