Reloading .40

[Fozy]

I'm looking for some insight into loading .40

I don't do reloading but was looking at starting for .40. I have talked to a couple of people about reloading and came to the conclusion that I dont shoot enough of my bigger calibres to justify it. However, I shoot alot of .40 and was wondering, realistically what kind of cost savings there would be in reloading it versus buying it new. I have access to brass so that is not an issue and if not factored into the cost how much would I be looking at to reload .40

I load .40 with a 180 grain lead and it costs me a little over $7 / 50 not including the brass.

PM for details of my load if interested.

Wolfe reloaded 40 is around $14 a box, so it looks like from the above you can save $7 a box by doing it yourself.

And if you go with copper plated bullets your reloads will be in $9/50rds range.
