My question is when you make your own ammo how much it would cost? each? same caliber same amount of powder and same bullet....seems like making your ammo can be badly hurt result or blow up your rifle barrel.... i dont know man, i think its not worth to make your own ammo... accept if you shooting 200+ and living in really romote area... somebody pls let me know the cost... or you can send wht ever ammo you make and how much is it on the market pack of it...

$17.28 Nosler Accubond (if buy bulk powder, primers)
$20.28 Nosler Accubond (if buy local, 1 lb powder, primers at $5/1000)
$18.18 Nosler Ballistic Tip (if buy local, 1 lb powder)
$25.67 Barnes Ttsx (if buy local, 1lb powder)
Take note buying 8lb produces allot of ammo., could be storing hunting ammo a long time for a "good deal". The Barnes Ttsx run about $45/box, and the Nosler ammo is in the $30-$35 range.... so about 35-43% less than factory, if you buy local powder in 1 lb quantities... even more savings if you buy bulk, but you need to add in shipping costs and hazmat fees.
It makes sense if you buy say 20+ lbs of powder at a time. 8lb jugs go for around $140 whereas they cost $200+ locally, but, add hazmat and shipping and the savings disappear at quantities of 16 lb or less. You'll also save around $10-$15 per 1000 primers.
