When I was in middle school, one of my Christmas presents was a MEC shell reloader and I reloaded 20 ga. Bought dies for 16 ga.
40 years ago it cost me $1.00 per 25 rounds of the following:
Not counting the cost of the reloader or the empty shells. We used Double A, short brass.
7/8 oz. (7 1/2, 8 or 9) was just over .01 per load
Primer was .01 per
Wad was .01 each
Powder was almost fee, but less that .01 per load
Therefore it cost me, back in 71, 72, .. $0.04 per round or about $1.00 per box of 25
What would the same round cost me today?
