TiteGroup powder = $30/lb = 7000/4.7 = 1489 rds/lb = 2 cents/rd

Primers = $30/1000 = 3 cents

Frontier plated bullets (Marstar) = $83/1000 = 8.3 cents

Brass = range pick ups. = N/C

So it costs about 13.3 cents each = $6.65/50.

'bout $135/k
or $6.73/50

If you cast bullets you can get it down to about 5c a shot, or $2.50/50

Don't forget that if you have to purchase equipment, you will have to amortise that too.

Over 25 years, or the new 40 year option?
