4" SW500. Mixed cases, started @ 35 gr of L'ilgun (hodgdon) ended at 39gr. Topped with Hornaday 350gr XTP's
10 yards or so, just standing, no rests. I flinched twice (grr) obviously.
the 35-37gr loads were very enjoyable to shoot but the 39 was starting to become uncomfortable for anything but bear defense imo. I could probably shoot 30-40 of the 35gr ones w/out any discomfort though.
Anyways, this should probably be in Reloading but I thought I'd post it here first.

I was considering that massive piece of steel as a new addition to my collection but the bullet price is a little high... How much do you think on average it costs you to reload? Say rounds or so... I've got the presses and stuff I would just need to pick up some 'new' powder since mine is like 20 years old and definately new dies.
I think were down to around 40 cents a pop to reload. Thats more shots there than I've shot factory ammo through it (stuff is so damn expensive!).
