Reeder Custom Guns - 500 linebaugh

I’ve been buying my Ammo from Grizzly ammo, but can’t get them to return my calls or answer emails. Anyone here know if their still in business. And where else can I buy 500 linebaugh ammo.

And all of it is not cheap. I cannot imagine having to "buy" that ammo loaded. Casting your own bullets and buying (50)-(100) brass at a minimum to begin sure makes shooting more dollar friendly, and you never run out. Some more common calibers are actually not currently cost efficient to reload so I just hoard the brass while it's good times. But big bore specialty rounds are a price point I can really come out well rolling my own. I even shoot into a backstop where I dig out the lead bullets and cast them again, over and over.

But many shooters buy a couple boxes of (20) and it lasts them a season or two. Not a thing wrong with that either, your time is worth a whole bunch when you consider it. The equipment I use to do all that work too is probably staggering in cost, not factoring that it was accumulated over decades of varied projects. Now though I enjoy that more than the actual shooting. Something to think about.

I figure its about .75 cents a round loading my own! Buffalo Bore at one time was 150.00 for a box of 50 count

You can fool yourself with lead over $1 per lb, figure $40 hr. for your time. Brass with new ammo can be $1 per case. You do save money, some, but shooting 50 rounds is just getting started. Nothing to shoot 200+ rounds in an easy session. However NOT that many .500LB!! Got to limit the rough suff. I start big and work down.

I'm also blessed to be able to shoot in the yard.
