Re: 338LM Reloading prices?

Like corn, wheat and pork bellies, the price to reload the 338LM, or any cart, is dynamic and at the mercy of supply and demand.
I just looked at PowderValleyInc and they have Lapua 338LM brass in stock for $252+ per 100, before shipping. Throw in $8-$10, so call it $260 to your door.
I'm on 12-13 cycles with some of my Lapua brass, so divide 1300 into 260 and you get 20 cents per bang, but perhaps figure 10 cycles for 26 cents per shot.
You get about 80 rounds per pound, so depending on your powder cost, say $25 out the door, you're at 31 cents per round.
FGMM 215Ms might cost you $50 per 1k, so 5 cents.
Bullets are about $70 per 100, so 70 cents per hole.
Adding that all up, I get about $1.32 a pop, as a guess.
Basic math is fun.
