Thanks for this spreadsheet!!!
I have decided to purchase a G23 for both a range gun and a CCW. I'm trying to figure out costs of ammo, and how much I'd like to shoot per month. I figure ideally i'd spend an hour a month at the range each month. I put around 100 rounds in an hour out this weekend with a few different handguns, and dealing with a G23 that FTE.
In any case, trying to figure out how much I'd have to shoot to break even...or come out ahead if I decide to get into reloading. I can purchase wolf ammo for ~ $12/box(50) shipped online.
Using these charts seems to come out to around $7.72 per box of 50.
Doing the math at $4.28 savings per box of 50 it'd take me 152 boxes of 50 just to break even on the press. I guess that if i shot 200rds/week I'd be breaking even after ~1.5 years.
I guess I feel like that's a hard thing to justify the time for such a small savings. Or should I not be looking at wolf ammo? :-P I know I know, reloading isn't about saving money, you just shoot more. I'm all for shooting more because I want to be as good of a shot with my pistol as I can and keep my skills tuned, but if it came down to spending a few bucks more per box and spending more time at the range, vs saving a few bucks and spending time reloading instead of being at the range I'm not sure I can see the benefits.
