As long as plated runs over $12/100 and jacketed is over $22/100 , $2/100 for checks looks pretty good .
I loaded a lot of shot shells at $22.40/100 when steel was over $70/100 , it's hardly worth the time to load the press being able to buy the same components loaded I was loading when they're under $26/100 .
The cost of the tool and needing it in 22 , 25 , 27/28 , 30 & 35/38 was the thing that broke me on it . I guess after the first 100 , mat'l being less than a dime a 100 .... I don't know .......
