I realize that you're getting a lot for the money compared to factory ammo, but it was still a little bit of a shock to run the numbers.
I've only been hand loading for about 6 months, but I think ur looking at it backwards. Its not how much it cost to run a progressive press, but rather how much u save. I saved over $180 for the first 500 .45acp. And I save more $$$ every time I load
