I've found myself shooting a little more lately and I've started doing some research on reloading and equipment.
At least for starters, I'd plan to load 45acp and 147gr 9mm. Later, maybe 44 mag, 300 Blackout and a couple others.
Let's say I can buy 45 for $14/50 and 9mm for $11/50 for bulk ammo like Blazer, American Eagle, Lawman, etc.
So, running the numbers on a reloading calculator app, I come up with $11.50 and $7.75, respectively. And that's using once fired brass, and not taking into account reusing the brass, which bring down prices eventually. So, let's say I'd save 25% before reusing brass.
My first question is, do my numbers look reasonable? Am I leaving out something other that equipment?
And secondly, and more importantly to me, is it likely I could load more accurate ammo than bulk stuff like Blazer or UMC?
