Dale I just bought one box of Hornaday#50101 .500 cal 300 gr XTPHP, MSRP is $46.45 for 50 projectiles the dealer I got them from charged me $38.95 for the box.
I purchased a RCBS .500 cal 340swc mold for around $50.00 I think.
I usually make a couple thousand at a time so I don`t have to do it every couple months, I size and lube then store until needed.
I couldn't` even think of shooting factory's or store bought projectiles at the rate I consume them.
Its the gods honest truth that a lot of the guns that I have purchased new have never shot a factory round, that's not to say that they haven`t been shot and a lot.
Casting saves only after the initial investment is paid then its all gravy.
