Ah, yes. Interwoven discussion of color names, sheer skirts, and high caliber weaponry--the Internet really is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Gotta get yourself some reloading equipment to go with it. ;)

...and, have you priced reloading gear, or for that matter, powder, lately?

;)

All prices from http://www.gibrass.com/, quantity for 100 rounds. (Except powder, which is an 8 pound jug; ~240 rounds' worth)
$0.50 Bullets: 695 gr. FMJBT
$0.30 Primers: CCI #35
$0.24 Powder: WC860 pull-down, 235 gr.
$1.04 per reload; brass is ~$0.70 each, but I don't have the experience to know about the case life.

But even if you're set up to reload other cartridges, you'll likely need a new (bigger) press to take the 50 dies. So there's some serious upfront costs, too...

It's a pricey hobby no matter which way you do it. Still nothing like burning ammo with a (full-automatic) M2, though.

Sadly, I'll have to take your word on that, as I haven't had the pleasure. I really, really, really, really, really, Really wanted to flip that MP5 selector over to full-auto for a couple seconds, but the rangemaster only let me go as far as the 3-rnd burst. :( Fun, still... but not as much fun, I imagine.

I suggest Counter-Strike. You can buy your weapons from money you get when your team wins a round.

Me either... actually never handled a class-III at all. :(

Not so much a hijack, as an object lesson.

heh, I took up black powder shooting a couple years ago. Wanna know the price per shot cost?
$0.11 90gr of Goex FFF black powder
$0.05 Remmington 11 primer cap
$0.09 220gr .54 cal lead ball
------
$0.25 per shot

And initial cost is waaay less than cartridge shooting.

sure it's more of a "past time" than testosterone driven plinking. But you do learn patience, accuracy, and diligence especially when hunting with black powder.
