regarding a 5.45x39 bolt action

[El Caballo Loco]

Resurrect a zombie post to pick a fight with a mod who probably reloads 8k in a year. Wow! Just wow!

Where is the popcorn smilie?

Just 8k?

From what I hear Hoser knocks out a lot more than that. Not in just one caliber, but we're talking more rounds than there is stars in the universe.

Lets ask. Hoser, ballpark figure, how many 5.56 do you normally reload in one year?

I will never get the images of his Dillon reloading setups out of my head. Just awesome!

Corrosive inaccurate ammo whats not to like about that .

Funny stuff Chuck. True, but funny.

As many as it takes....

As a rough wag, I go through 1-2 cases (6K per case) of Hornady 55s a year and a barrel or two in my main rifle. I also go through 1,200-1,500 Sierra 69s.

Bolt gun ammo I might load 2,500-3,000 rounds. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends on how many Prairie Dogs and Coyotes are out and about.

My 9x19 and 40 usage is a lot. Maybe 4-5 cases (3700 per case) a year. And thats down huge from what is was in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Shotgun used to be a lot. A lot. Then the closed the range on base and it became a pain to shoot skeet/trap/5-stand/SC.

I would load rimfire ammo if I could.

So, how about them Broncos?

zombie thread....so, what is cost per round of a .223 now that politics have really driven prices up?

now compare to a spam can of 5.45, in a savage bolt action that you could shoot the barrel out of with the cost difference-so to hell with its corrosive qualities.

I'm just kind of chuckling at considering a .17 cent reloaded .223 from range brass all that far from spam can ammo. But I seem to have disagreed with THE MASTERS so my posts get deleted & I'm told to chill. gun nuts are not to be disagreed with lolz

If anyone can load me a 52gr Speer hollowpoint or BTHP bullet with some winchester ball powder for .17 (can't use wolf primers though) I'll be happy to hear about it.

You have a good evening DH.

Maybe see you out there sometime.
