If I use 70 gr in a load is .60 cents per load
If I use 35 grs in a load of course it cost .30 cents per .

So for me to choose my hunting gun based on saving $30 per 100 rounds doesn’t make sense. Of course I have used 35 gr on the low end and there are not many hunting loads using 35 gr per load .
A target gun may be a different story . Everyone has different thoughts on spending their money , that is just mine on powder / ammo

Well said as usual. The day I can't afford reloaded boomer cartridges to go hunting is probably the day I can't go at all cause gas and rye are a ton more expensive than gunpowder.
