1st Chance:

Welcome to the board!!

Go out to your local gun shop and buy a Speer Reloading Manual, and all the questions you asked in your last post will be answered. For all the inital components (brass, bullets, powder, and primers) to handload 100 rounds for my .340 Wby. Mag I will spend about $135.00 if I was to buy the same 100 rounds made by Weatherby they would run me $304.95. If you purchased 100 rounds of Remington Factory Ammo it would run you about $125.00, but if you were load 100 rounds with all inital compoments (brass, bullets, powder, and primers) needed it would cost you about $105.59. One can use brass for about 5 loadings, so the next 100 rounds you load will run you about $52.00 because you already have your brass (which initally cost you about $53.59). IF you take the time and pride it takes to handload, your loads they will preform better than any factory load one can buy. The Handloading is a very rewarding hobby. Good luck.
