Back when I bought my first beltfed .308, I just started buying LNL AP presses (at cost) removing the UPC to send in for their “get loaded” promotion and selling the press for the same price I paid for them (same price retail stores pay before their markup) and getting the 1000 bullets per press a couple weeks after mailing it in.For those of you saying Id need to shoot alot to make it make sense. Ive shot in the neighborhood of 1200 .30 cal bullets in the last 2 months. Id shoot more but its HOT here in Texas.
Once I was stocked up enough on 308’s I started getting others, even some that are not on their list of choices but they let me get them after I called and asked. Yeah, that’s a lot of work but less than making them myself.
