35 Remington nothing aggravated me but it seems like I aggravated you for whatever reason I can't figure out.
Leverevolution factory ammo is hard to beat.
If you live in an area where gathering components is easy and cheap more power to you. Why in the world would that aggravate me.
Most people have to buy all the components either online or the local gunshop. I'm basing my prices on my reach. I went online to midwayuas and as I said a bag of 50 HDY. cases was $34.99 X 2 (100) $69.98 + box of 100 FTX B. $33.99 = $103.97 and I'm not even including yet the price of powder + primers.
All I'm saying is the first round is cheaper to buy complete ammo than buying all new components.
At $104.65. for 5 boxes = 100 rounds comes out to $1.05 each.
A pound of powder can cost $18. + tax, if S/H + [Haz-mat $25 ] and tax, price goes up.
A pack of primers $ 300 a 100 if locally, If ordered S/H + Haz-mat price goes up
Okay now I have all my components I need to put together a 100 35R LE ammo.
HDY.cases --------$69.98
FTX BULLETS------$33.99
powder 40.0gr.----$10.28 base on LVR. 40.0gr.X 100 =4000.0 gr. 4/7 of a $18. pound
Primers------------$ 3.00
-------------------------------------
$117.25 for the first 100 rounds each @ $1.17 and 1/4 of a cent.
The second,third,forth,fifth,Sixth X load well you have the cases.
Money wise I wish I had access to your resources but I don't. Maybe you would like to share it with the rest of us on MO. It would be highly appreciated.
I would like you to know this post of mine is to explain my resources not to compete with your.
I was giving sound advice based on my net-worth. I fully understand in different areas people have better or worse access to these component, therefore the price.
Enclose of this lengthy post I also like to say I know by members, respect your opinion here on MO and not looking to compete with you over this point.

TO NY
PS
In the new Hornady #8 manual data for leverevolution powder lists max. charge @ 42.7gr. I know Hodgdon leverevolution data list max is 35.5C. So I went with 40.0gr.
My calculation for the already owned HDY. cases ("amortized ") 1 X fired is 0.4727 cents each X by 20 [1box of ammo]comes to $9.45 We or not that far apart. Remember now I didn't include Taxes, S/H, Haz-mat or anything else that may influence the price and either did you.
Oh yes ups don't charge Haz-Mat on loaded ammo another saving of $25.
