BUY BRASS? You must be a rich feller,Art!
Here's my cheap recipe for 100rds of 30/30:
100ct 30/30 brass=FREE I picked it up from the ground at the range. Usually it comes in nice Remington boxes that people throw away.
3100grs of surplus WC844 military pulldown powder at $89 for 56,000grs= $4.92
100 primers: 1/10 of a box of 1000 at $16ea= $1.60
Lead bullets 170gr Lee cast from tireshop wheelweights= FREE
100 Hornady gas checks from box of 1000 @ $23= $2.30
Total cost for 100rds= $8.82 not counting the intangibles. I could make it cheaper using reduced loads with Unique,but that would just be parsimonious of me.
Sure, the components cost me about $129+ tax,but I can make 900 more rounds before I run out of that box of primers and gas checks.
