I am wondering where you can get 1k bullets for 275 45ACP.
There is always steel and import.
At this point in life, I no longer assign value to the time I have available.
That's a real shame, I think my time becomes more valuable the older I get (assuming that is what you meant) especially now that I have a son.
Unless you are missing work to reload, it is a mute point.
It is semantics but you are making an opportunity cost comparison without bothering to value it. Whether you are fishing, loading, or watching TV, it can be assigned a dollar amount and a convenient measure might be your salary as you point out. Another convenient measure might be what you would pay to have your wife out of the house shopping so you can get some silence. It can all be equated to money, it may be subjective, but your free time is worth something. I bet that we can find out very fast what your time is worth by me offering you work this Saturday at $1 per hour. I bet your time is worth more than that, if not, I've got plenty of work for you to do at that rate! Ever processed brass?
the financial benefits as I own odd calibers and Magnums.
Absolutely, the math is definitely in your favor there, on match ammo, on Cowboy ammo, and self-defense ammo.
