Anybody that has to figure electricity costs into what cast bullets end up costing, had better be loading in the dark, taking cold showers, and washing clothes by hand and hanging them outside to dry.
There certainly IS some cost involved. Just as there is in what it takes to just live. I turn lights on when I enter a room, and off when I'm leaving. I suppose I'm saving money, but mainly I'm just too frugal to waste energy.
It may be fun to figure it out for some people. I struggled with math while in school, I avoid it now just to stay sane,(and to avoid the inevitable headache).!
I made the mistake of adding up what I spent in the last 8 years, just at midway. Came to over 10G! I looked around the man cave, just couldn't see where it went. Then I realized how many spent primers were it the scrap brass bucket!
OIC, that's were it went!
PRICELESS!
