If you shoot anything at all it ends up allowing you kore flexibility while saving money per round. Though you wil most likely have more on hnd so yes in the end maybe it is the sane cost. There is a pay to play in reloading. It could be quite inexpensive overall yet you woukd het what you are paying for. RCBS is a great starting point for single use press. I still use it to reload rounds like 45/70 and .270 or ones that I dont shoot alot. If you like the art if it this is as intement as it will get. Yet if you are wanting any volume it is tedious at best. I ould recommend a progressive press if you are serious in getting into it. Alowing you 500-1000rds an hour depending on the machine. Most time a short run takes about 30 minutes to run it and making sure everthignis setup right before hand and double checking afterwords, yet that is an individual thing and highly recommended. Take a look at Dillon Precision specifically the RL550B or the XL650. Both are excellent machines and hold there value very well. I have both and the biggest difference between the two is with the 650 you have more flexibility reloading and doing different processes. For under $1000 you can have a nice setup with very high quality life time no questions asked warranty support. Example: blew a primer reloading not to long ago my fost mishap in 10 years, called dillon told then what parts where damaged and they even suggested parts sending them free if charge about $300 worth. Look at some of the guide as the machine is not the only thing you need when starting out. With the 650 you can save a iittle startingnout by adding he brass feeder later, manually feedig the tube yourself. I have looked at many machines and am happy with what I decided to go with. Though I would like there 1050 I just cannot swing it finacially though may upgrade my 550 to a 650. Have ine machine setup rifle 223/300blk/308 second pistol 9mm. Good luck itnis a very rewarding undertaking.
The load above even at 25gr blew a filled one liter apart with a good amount of force though the higher load decimated it. Bit are accurate at 100 yards as that is all I can test for on steel at home as well as printing on paper at 50 yards without issue. I do like to film it though.
I apologize if this has been covered as I didn't read all 72 pages, but is anyone still commercially loading this round? I'm looking for a deer cartridge and this one keeps coming up, but everyone (Midway, ASYM, etc) are all out of stock.
Thanks,
Chris

I've seen the 62g Barnes TSX loaded by Black Hills at Triad Tactical; https://www.triadtactical.com/Ammunition/
"Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name
