Yeah I'm absolutely seeing all of that right now with the cost of components going through the roof.

However it's nothing like the cost of a box of 458 socom.

Just a couple of boxes would be the same as an investment into a press and the components.

Ironically it uses quite a large variety of different powders. And you can use that data to carefully tune a load.

It seems like you have to start in the middle of the road unless you want cycling issues however. Some advice I was given is start at 50% and slowly start working up from there for cycling with semi-automatics.

However there is definitely a limit you don't want to have two little power and powder because the bullet won't leave the barrel...
