Dane Armory Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Ok...what's next on the list R^2? What can we push you towards? Aside from adding me to the will. I know Robo wants to be adopted...I just want to be named in the will.I can give you a reference for sherpa duties if Ron will let you carry it.
Robocop1051 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Yep. Job taken. He had interviews and everything, and I managed to beat the competition. :hethan: The way I heard it, several dozen applied for the position. All but one died or went missing, in suspicious circumstances. By any means necessary... Right Tom.
Dane Armory Posted December 23, 2013 Report Posted December 23, 2013 Ok...what's next on the list R^2? What can we push you towards?.How about a .338 lapua mag die set and a big bag of brass. Midway USA has 338 projo on sale. Reloading just became a practical solution for you Ron.
Rsquared Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Posted December 23, 2013 You're probably right. I haven't broken in to the reloading realm yet. But I've been thinking about it a lot over the last couple of months.
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 By any means necessary... Right Tom. What ever it takes to win, brother. <lmao> Ron, if you reload for this thing, you can get from being chambered for $6 bills, down to about $3.50 a trigger-pull. I've run the math on it several times before... :banana:
DNP Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 According to bubba he's got it down to like $0.80 a pop. Hell...I could almost afford that.
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 According to bubba he's got it down to like $0.80 a pop. Hell...I could almost afford that. He ain't blasting .338 LM for $0.80 per pull, unless he's got some damn Mafia ties... <dontknow> :banana:
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I ran the numbers just the other day on my thread and it was just a buck and a half to two minus brass. Even with 300gr smk. .72 for projo. .42 for powder and .03 for primer. We'll round it up to 1.20 a piece minus brass if you have it. Bout the same as 308 FGMM

Bout the same as 308 FGMM No way can it be the same, with the powder difference, brother - how'd you get that? You're damn near at twice the powder with .338 LM - 42~45 grains on 308Win, versus almost 90 (or more) grains for 338LM. So, for every pound of powder that I can squeeze 150 rounds out of, for 308Win, I can only get (maybe) 75 rounds for the Lapua Magnum. http://www.reloadbench.com/gloss/grain.html
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Im saying compaired to a factory 308 fgmm round cost.
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 My price is rounded to 70 rds per lb. 30 bucks a lb also rounded. Still under a buck fiddy a rd
Dane Armory Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 He are some pricess I found . Lee die set $39.99 , 250 gr projos $42.99 for 50 , 300 gr. $59.99 for 50 , new 338 lapua mag brass $3.15 each. Saw some 1x brass for $1.50 each.
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Im saying compaired to a factory 308 fgmm round cost. Factory FGMM cost would have to equal $6 a round then, brother! <lmao> I get skeered when I look at a box of 20 rounds of 338LM in a place like Cabela's, and it's more than $120!!! :eek:
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Expensive projos. Midway is 37.50. Lgs is 36 bucks. My price is wothout brass bc i have tons. Average die set price over thousands of rds.
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Hence y i said 308fgmm. Bout 1.20 a pop. closeish to reloading 338 minus cost of brass
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Im not getting how 308 fgmm is 6 bucks a rnd
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I can't get powder for $30/lb round here anymore - it's more like $39/lb, which went $40/lb for averaging. Schit ain't cheap anymore. Buck Ofama made sure of that.
bubbasks Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Hmm normal pre panic prices here. Heres cost i pd when i bought a few 8lbers http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/5617
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Im not getting how 308 fgmm is 6 bucks a rnd We're cross-posting brother... I'm replying to your last while you're replying to my last, while... :happydrunks: Comparing a factory load, even FGMM, to a reload. Just compare a factory load to a factory load. If FGMM is $1.20 per round, factory, the 338LM is over $120 per 20-round box - that's $6 per round, factory load.
Dane Armory Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Tom I am going to take you shopping with me, I will show you my spots.
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Hmm normal pre panic prices here. Heres cost i pd when i bought a few 8lbershttp://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/5617 That's gone, forever, brother. We'll never see that again. Not in today's world.
Dane Armory Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Primer $33 to $45 Powder $26 to $43 still limited supply.
98Z5V Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Blc-2 $24 lb here? You can run that for a 338LM load?
