My numbers for subs buying in bulk and free brass.

powder 0.03 (8lbs of 1680 for $118 @ 625 rounds per pound)
primer 0.03 (1000 for $29)
220gr SMK 0.34 (500 for $170)

So that's about $0.40 each.

I don't really factor in the costs for my reloading equipment and time. It's easier to justify reloading if you don't. :mrgreen:

A1680 for subsonic, H110 or W296 for supersonic.

I cannot give charge weights.

November is half way gone, any word on ammo?

I talked to my sales rep at two distributors and they have never even heard of it or know if they plan to sell the ammo. Rsr and Jerry's . It would be nice to know what distributors have pre ordered some. Is it only going to be avalible from AAC at first?

RSR doesn't do a lot of ammo sales, so I gather they aren't going to mess with it.
