BTW no interest in learning to load my own ammo,too late in life for that
I shoot only a 2-3 hundred rounds a month,don't think buying and learning to use reloading equipment is practical for me.The Ultramax is about $12.50/50 rd box.
I respect your not wanting to do it, but it's not as hard as you think at all.
Costwise, it's easy to make up the cost of the reloading gear VERY QUICKLY, and have ammo that easily exceeds total garbage like ultramax reloads.
1000 - 9MM 125 grain hardcast lead bullets ... $54.
1000 - Small pistol primers .... $30.
6000 - grains Power Pistol powder .... $12.
Total cost for 1000 rounds .... $96 .... or $4.80 per box of 50.
Total cost for 1000 rounds factory at $12.50/box ... $250.
Savings per 1000 rounds .... $154 per thousand .... over $450 per YEAR savings at 200-300 rounds per month.
Therefore .... FAR less than a year to recoup the cost of a modest reloading setup, with the benefits of a relaxing pastime, as well as FAR more accurate rounds.
Something to think about ..... ?
You'll shoot MORE, shoot far BETTER, and do it CHEAPER, reloading. Takes a couple hours of reading and practicing on a single stage press to become proficient at reloading. NOTHING is more rewarding than pulling the trigger on a round that YOU MADE, and then realizing how much better you shoot with quality made rounds compared to the junk like WWB, Blazer, or WORST of all .... ultramax reloads, and to add insult to injury, the ultramax reloads cost almost THREE TIMES AS MUCH.
