Title: Fun little calculator
Post by: wallace11bravo on October 23, 2013, 08:13:26 PM

Stumbled across this.

http://www.reloaderhub.com/calculator.cfm (http://www.reloaderhub.com/calculator.cfm)

Lets you put in raw info for price and quantity purchased, charge weight, # of firings, comes back with cost/round.

Found it somewhat useful:

Frangible loads are about $0.38 per round [no brass cost] (~$0.75/round market)
Match .308 loads are about $0.54 per round [6 firings] ($1.00-$1.50/round market)
Practice .223 loads are about $0.18-$0.23 per round [no brass cost] ($0.45/round market)*

All loaded with Varget, which isn't the cheapest of powders.

*I almost never have time to reload these anymore, just don't have the time and the savings margin is the smallest. I just buy bulk factory reloads.

I'd be curious what results ya'll get.

I've got that app for my phone, kinda nifty.
