I have no idea...but if I had to guess, I'd say around $5,500 or so...mostly in components (bullets, brass, primers, powder)...that's for the stuff I have on hand now, I don't want to think about what I've spent over the years.

Presses, dies, trimmer, etc...account for about $600.

Then there is the casting equipment and molds and stuff...

The good news is...I now have enough brass and bullets to last me the rest of my days...and enough primers to hold me several years, powder too...I will continue to buy some powder and primers as I find them but don't want to get too far ahead...as those have a life span.

I don't shoot very much these days, have to work all the time...but I figured if I stocked up now I wouldn't have to worry about it later...just my way of making sure I had what I need to hunt with.
