Curious on your prices per round

[kdsd731]

Just for fun I was seeing what my reloads cost me right now compared to the cheapest rounds found on the internet and got me wondering how low everyone else's costs are? I don't shoot lead so my prices are for plated and FMJ bullets. The compared prices from the internet do not include shipping though. All my ammo is for plinking in these prices listed.
Here's my cost versus cheapest I could find online:

223
my cost .17 compared to .215 (ammoseek)
30-30
my cost .19 compared to .59 (ammoseek)
30-06
my cost .39 compared to .53 (ammoseek)
40 s&w
my cost .14 compared to .19 (ammoseek)
45 acp
my cost .13 compared to .245 (ammoseek)

Doing math is fun, are you crazy?

My costs are approximate to yours (though I don't reload 30-30)
.223 - 19 cents/round
.40 - 11 cents/round
.45 - 15 cents/round
30-06 - 36 cents/round

Of course, I could shave off a few more cents if I did bigger bulk buys, or save even more if I cast, but I think I'm content with the prices that I have currently.

Since im cheap as heck, i get pulled items, to keep cost down. Primers and powder from the local range, so its a few bucks less.
9 mm / .11
.40 im / .14

Where are you getting your projectiles for the 30-30? How much of that $0.19 cost is for the projectile, powder, and primer? Unless I start casting for a 308 flat nose, I can't reload 30-30 that cheap.

Thanks!

All on sale over the past couple of months:

Berry's plated bullets: .07 per round
Sellier & Bellot Primers: .02 per round
Powder: approx .01 per round
Brass: Free! In fact, the last time I was at the range, the guys in the two lanes next to me gave me their spent brass. I shot 50 rounds and went home with 275 cases.

Total cost: .10 per round.

All prices are not including brass as I have enough of that to last me years and range cleanups keep it an ever growing inventory. I do buy brass ocassionally when it's a good deal.. but it just goes into the reserves lol. I have a problem.

44 mag

$0.16/Rd or $8.00/box for good reliable mouse fart loads.
$0.18/Rd or $9.00/box for my every day target shooting rounds with excellent accuracy and moderate recoil.
$0.20/Rd or $10/box for fireballs and lulz.

45 acp

$0.15/Rd or $7.75/box for my every day target shooting round. Rarely stray too far from this load anymore. It's perfect.

[Fjold]

My 375 H&H loads cost me about (10 reloads per brass case), $2.10/round while factory loads are about $3.70/round + shipping.

[bsumoba]

I am mainly into bolt action, F-Class and Tactical shooting, so for the following I am getting:

6.5 creedmoor - ~$0.60
284 Shehane - ~$0.77
6 Dasher - ~$0.55

This is all match ammo, and with different assumptions of how many firings out of each piece of brass I am getting. I also do not include equipment I use.

Thanks!

For the 30-30 I wait for free shipping and just use the Xtreme plated bullets at 10 cents each, the powder is 7 cents and the primer 2 cents. The brass I have never had to buy. So I suppose That would be the reason mine would be cheaper. I've been able to get about 500 cases between friends and what I've found at the range surprisingly. All my costs don't include brass because They have all been donations or range pickup fortunately.

[jericho89]

223 - $0.16
9mm - $0.03
45acp - $0.03
38 - $0.03

Ok the hand gun calibers I cast my own and I get my lead for free so it is not a very good comparison. and I get my primers for $0.01 per, and I buy my powder for $20 per pound max.

[Fishslayer]

I generally run around 50%-ish of factory cost. Depends on the bullets I'm using.
