glenwolde is kinda right. Since I am not going to sell the stuff I use I cost average on primers powder and projectiles. At this point my primer average is just over 2 cents each...But it is a price that continues to rise every time you replace anything...esp when you use the older items. All said loading a box of 41s right now is probably about 5.50 now...maybe a bit more if I use premium bullets...less if I cast them. esp with the 41. with the 38s I will avg about 2 cents for jacketed as I got 1000s at a couple auctions for next to nothing and estate sales.
