    10mm target ammo - WisconsinCartridge.com

    I purchased a Glock G20 SF about a month ago. Now I'm driven to search for cheaper target ammo. When I picked up my new G20SF from Target Masters, I popped 50 rounds through the pistole that day. It cost me ~$0.83 per round that day. ~$38.50 + sales tax (8.25%) for 50 rounds of Remington UMC (1150 fps).



    I purchased 10mm 180 gr FMJ (1050 fps) from WisconsinCartridge for target practice. In the order, I lumped some other calibers with the 10mm so it's was difficult to get the exact cost. I roughly calculated that it was ~ $0.51 a round. I paid the shipping cost as well as a "processing fee" but no taxes.



    I realize that the WC 10mm is the low power stuff. Well, so was the Remington UMC. I have a few questions for those of you that reload 10mm using the spent WC cases. Are the WisconsinCartridge cases of good quality to perform repeated reloads? How much per round does it cost you to reload? Please include your time and your wages/hour into the calculation. How many rounds to do you reload before you see an honest cost savings?

    you NEVER see a savings. You just shoot more bullets for the same rough expenditure.

    I get my bullets for 15-25 cents each. Powder is at 750rds/1lb can so about a nickel in powder, primer is 3-5 cents. So figure 25-50cents per round provided your brass is free. Brass is on average 18 cents per and you should be able to get at least 5-6 loadings or more if you don't over expand the case mouth.

    Including your time is silly at best and the value of my time in particular is not valid for most people. It takes on average 1 hour per 100rds from brass processing to boxing up finished rounds.

    A full single stage press kit plus a set of dies sets you back another 150 bucks or better.

      Here is the thread:



      I reload 10 but I buy large quantities of components. My dillon can pump out 700 rounds in one hour. Ya, don't know about saving a bunch of money, but for the same money I can shoot more...

      Take care

      Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).
