Good post tkglazie...just checked your recommended site at something over 8+ cents per thousand, before shipping etc...so how do they shoot...? I don't dispute the idea that we can save some money on loading our own, but the idea that we can get if for 1/2 the price of factory rounds is a bit overdrawn. Count the cost of your equipment, hazmat plus shipping and the price per round goes up. I will readily agree that reloading as a part of our hobby allows us to shoot more for the same dollar amount, but not as much as some would proclaim...Thanks for the site reference, I'll check out a hundred count and see if they're quality bullets or so-so. Best Regards, and no offense taken, hope you feel the same at my response. Rod
