Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
Rogue, good job so far.
A few questions though. In that first chart, (and no I'm not going to go and re-do all the math) is that a "total cost for all components on hand"? or is that an actual cost for 6,000 live rounds? I ask, because then you'll have left over components such as powder and bullets. But you can only get 6k rounds out of 6k primers. Yet you list 7.5k bullets.
So that could skew the numbers.
Also, the brass being re-loaded. At what point do you start to 're-load it', as according to your first chart you are using all 5.7k brass, to make the 6k rounds that you're stating cost $0.18 each. So that too would 'skew' the numbers, right?
I'm not nit-picking. I am actually asking for a bit more data, to help clarify this in my head. Unless I'm off my nut, there are other factors that need to be addressed, for a breakdown such as this.

Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
No all his math is right... He is buying in full boxes.. he will have cconponents left over. He is showing that at that cost for what he bought. the rounds will cost .18 cents each. just for this "lot" of conponents. now if he buys more he will need to average cost each. but for what he has on-hand to make a round it will be .18

Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
I use this calculator to figure out cost/round.

Brass is easily calculated and then added.

Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
l have always suggested those who ask if reloading is 'worth it' to not bother. If 'saving money' is the driving motive rather than the versatility or precision custom made ammo then it's really no contest, get your ammo from a store.

Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
Yip. Need to amortize the brass. All the savings in reloading is in recycling the brass. My payback period for rifle reloading equipment is about 30 years. For pistol, my Dillon 650 paid itself off in 3 months.

Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
We did the math and overall we saved a boatload in money! so yeah you do majorly save but I aint sayin how much
(use the chart and do the math ) I've got about a 4th grade math level arg so I won't even try to do my wifes math. I will however ask her to come on here today and do a little write up to all your questions (besides what's her # after seeing pic's of her tit's in the for sale thread..)

Re: My wife the accountant did the reloading cost ..
Another thing to consider is the cost of the labor. I enjoy doing it and treat it as stress relief/hobby, so this is not figured in.
