I will eventually get into reloading, but for now, I pretty much buy the cheapest stuff that works.


Ditto.

I was just wondering if it is worth buying when I come across 500 rounds for $179 like in the link. I would not shoot this stuff exclusively, just buy some on occasion if a deal pops up on gunbot.net

NO typos!

And make sure you always use proper grammer.

And the rest of your post is ignorant. At my high point in shooting I was going through roughly 2500 rounds of 45acp per month just in practice.

On competition guns barrels and barrel fittings aren't cheap and the gunsmith typically doesn't get the gun back to you in less than a couple months, so figure in down time on a comp pistol in the equation as well.



Woah, it's going to be like that? I never told anyone to shoot steel-cased in a competition gun, and I never said it was cheaper than reloading. I just said that if you're not a reloader, steel-cased makes sense. Saving $100 per case will pay for a new barrel in most handguns after about 2000 rounds.

I shoot a lot of Tula/Wolf in my ARs. I can buy a new BCM barrel for $300...even if the steel decreases my barrel life significantly, the savings add up to much more than $300 over the life of the barrel.

I don't see how what I'm saying is ignorant, but to each his own. Obviously reloading is the best way to save money (or shoot more for the same $$$)...but if you can't, there is nothing wrong with steel-cased.

Wrong, its APC because it blows up Armored Personnel Carriers.


Those must be some shitty APCs.
