Facts that you ignored in my post - and that was 4,080 rounds in 40 hours just to break even. You'd have to hit 8,160 rounds and 2 full work weeks just to save $200. . . . and if you're shooting that much ammo, you should probably quit truck driving and just become a professional shooter. Not knocking your hobby, but your thought process . . . well, is lacking . . .

I mean let's look at some things.
Brass can be shot at least 8 times so that initial cost needs to be spread out.

You can buy 1k bullets for plinking at .08 each

7000 grains per pound. My loads are 27.0 grain. Cfe223 powder is 20$ which is .08 (.076 I rounded up) a shot.

Primers are 36$/1000 so .04 a shot

Brass 10$/500 but upward of 8 shots. So we'll leave it out as you can get it from factory ammo

So, 20 cents a shot. But you can cut that down with smaller powder charges.

And you can get .5 or less inch groups at 100 yards. And what price can you put on not worrying about ammo shortages? With better bullets ECT.

I'm the guy that shows up and says I can shoot .5" groups with loose stuff in an ammo can and shoot 500-1000 rounds all day while others come and go with way more $$ in ammo with crappier results.
