How do use the cost calc on this website. It used to work without downloading anything. BTW, I am not the most computer savy guy.

Thanks Todd

I just used the one in the link and it did not require loading anything else. What is it asking for? There may be something you do not have - Java or something like that but the system will know what to download.

You may need to download JAVA for it to work. Google it...

Thanks guys.

The real savings comes in with the 1-1/4 oz 3-3/4 dram loads which we use for the Annies. You save approx. 1/2 over the factory loads. Clyde

Your probably not hitting the middle 'compute' button. Don't use the bottom one.

Here are the figures I recently ciphered:

CAC reloading components for 20 flats:

5,000 W209 - 148.00

5,000 F8 Rem - 125.00

16 lb Am Sel - 191.98

14 25 lb #8 - 504.11

Sub Total - $968.98

6% tax - $58.14

Grand total - $1,027.12

CAC Prices for 20 flats of Rio ready-rolled Shells:

10 flats 1 1/8ox; 3 dr; #8 - 511.00

10 flats 1 oz, 2 3/4 dr; #8 - 505.00

Sub total - $1,016.00

6% tax - $60.96

Grand Total - $1,076.96

Total difference - $49.85 more for the ready-rolled. That works out to $.00997 per shell more. For this instance at least my time was worth MUCH more than that!

Gary, as long as their giving rebates I agree...

I consider my reloads better than gun clubs, estates and top guns for handicap.

Using real good components I figure that I am about $4.50 a box for 7/8oz loads, and about $4.80 for for 1oz. loads. All of our time is worth more, but I like to reload in the evening while listening to the Red Sox Baseball game, or on a rainy Sunday afternoon listening to New England Patriots football game. Oh....I am a Pirate baseball fan and a Steeler football fan, but cant get them live on the North East Coast!!

Glad you pointed out which button to push as it now works for me, BigM-Perazzi.

With Lawrence shot, Spolar wads, Clays powder and Winchester primers, my 1 1/8 oz reloads are $4.99 per box, still cheaper, most of the time, than buying shells. And, I like to reload.
