Guys,
Thanks! I have been busy with my winter hobby and I enjoy reloading/target shooting. It's hard to calculate the costs involved because I bought most of my supplies (primers, powder) when the prices were lower than they are now and most of the brass was given to me. Most brass runs .10 a case and .357Sig is a little lower because it's very difficult to reload and many people don't bother reloading it. I try to get my brass free or pay for it using
Reloadersauction.com - online auction for reloading supplies, equipment, once fired brass, and more,
Guns - Online Gun Auction - Guns at GunBroker.com or

I bought many boxes of primers when I started 18 months ago at $25 a box of 1000 and the price is now $50 a box of 1000. I figured that my costs to reload are approx. .25 to .50 a round, depending on what I'm loading. .303 British is .85 a round and .45ACP is .30 a round, for instance.
