ORIGINAL: HEAD0001

Cost is the major factor for me. I can buy 10 pounds of powder. My friend works at a tire shop, so my WW is free. I can cast 1000 bullets in five or six very enjoyable hours. I also need 1000 Caps, or 209 primers. This allows me to shoot 1000 shots for about $135. I have no idea what it would cost to shoot the expensive bullets you guys are talking about?

I know one thing for sure. If you put 500 to 1000 rounds through your ML-then you should really know it. All the penetration and bullet weight retention goes out the window when you really know your rifle. This expensive stuff might be OK for guys who shoot five or ten rounds a year. But I would say that these guys who shoot this little are the real problem. Practice with your ML, that is the key(Not how much you spend on your bullets). Tom.
