ACP costs me less than 3 cents each to reload

What? I'd like to find 2 cent primers again and 6 grains of most powders
put you at
another 2 cents. Not to mention the cost of lead if you cast.

Wideners had Wolf primers on sale a while back at $19/k in 5k lots...I
bought 20k and picked up 16 lbs of IMR 700-x for $50 from a gunshop going
out of business. My load for .45 is 3.5gr. 6gr would damage my 1911. Even
at full price of $110/8lb that's 56,000 grains or 16,000 rounds or $0.006875
worth of powder per round. With free lead, electricity and labor, my actual
cost per round is $0.025875 ...which is less than 3 cents each. Did you
think I was pulling your leg?

And, Wolf primers are just fine! Not a single problem even in my light
hitting revolvers.

Wideners has them at $19/k NOW!

I shoot about 1k/month so my equipment has paid for itself many times
compared to factory.
