RE: Reloads higher than factory loads? What gives?
When you toss out a once-fired case, you are throwing away 75% of the price of a loaded round of new ammo!!
When you buy EVERYTHING NEW, you are making CUSTOM AMMO, you are NOT RELOADING! Reloading is refilling already-fired cases!!
Where you are going wrong in your calculation here, (in addition to possibly paying too muchfor bullets, powder & primers!!) is charging the cost of new brass (Winchester brass (1000) $174.99) to the RELOADING process.IF you are reloading, YOU ALREADY OWN THE BRASS!! Here, you are actually making ammunition from the component parts! That's different!!
