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

Cool toy, though, if you can afford it. (And afford to feed it. That ammo gets expensive...)

...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.

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.
