Latest Purchase Thread

Did the math and it comes out to around $7 per box. I'll try and get more detailed for you later. Buying once fired hulls is cheaper or have buddies shoot certain shells to get the hulls you want. Shooting 2 3/4 helps too I they fit your situation, work way better than you might figure.

If savings is why you are reloading, it isn't worth your time. You have to enjoy it to make it worth while. Once loads are figured, you can save money, but the experimenting that must be done negates the savings. Think of it as shootibg super premium loads for the price of Experts.

That is what scares me Jarbo, I may end up spending hours in the shop trying to configure the perfect load and drive myself crazy!!! If it boils down to shooting premium loads at expert cost I am all for it. I know nothing about it other than reading what is posted on this site and others. Was just curious.

I think you'll be pleased. I wanted to knuckle chop my wife when she bullied me into two of them when we were at harbor freight, but after a couple days, I was very happy about the purchase, and still am.

Thanks Assa

[AKPirate]

Based on Assa's recommendation. Just ordered it.

My figure of cost per shell. Being able to get primers and powder locally significantly drops the price.

9 cents of powder
12 cents steel
8 cents per wad
4 cents per wad
5 cents per shell (once fired hulls).

Comes in at $9.50 for first box. $8.25 reusing hulls. Get a couple loads out of each before they crack usually.

This is the cost for my 2 3/4 loads the way I figure

[Weston81]

I am assuming you shoot more conformed steel than what you find in an Expert, resulting in a more consistant pattern?

Plenty of us here to help get you started in the right direction. Flight talked to many of us when he started. Performance wise you will be amazed.

[Weston81]

Well damn't I guess I may have to join the ranks. Just have to start saving.

[Flightstopper]

Yup, lots of knowledge here on this board alone. I just started this last season but so happy with the results I get I pimp the shit out of it every chance.

Olly, what length are those and are you looking for anymore arrows?

Not right now, what you got?

Easton Axis carbon 330's (I'll check on the length)
My brother and I were at the bow shop and the guy offered us a deal if we bought the last 2 dozen he had of the previous years camo pattern. He hasn't shot any of them yet, just decided he wants to stick to shooting Gold Tips.

I think those spark plugs are defective. And you're never going to get the old ones out with that cheap ass plastic wrench.

We are on the road now.

I know we will get it to live up to its true potential.

One thing I forgot Jarbo is a way to trim your cases. Lee sells a case holder/trimmer that will work in my Lee zip trimmer. They are $6

We are going to need one of these, sorry I didn't think of it until now. That is EVERYTHING.
