Cowboy 45 Special OEM ammo vs Reloading cost

[Tall John]

Cowboy 45 Special OEM Ammo in stock

 

8/11 UPDATE: $5 shipping at Natchezss with coupon code

FR260810

For anyone interested in trying some commercially mfg’d Cowboy 45 Special ammo without committing to the investment for reloading, Natchezss dot com has the 180 grain American Cowboy ammo back in stock for $69.99 or $1.60/round.  It generated a power factor of 100 out of my 5.5” NMV’s for me back in May

 

Cost to reload this ammo runs from $0.40-$0.67/round assuming you have to buy all the components at today’s prices.  

 

UPDATE My calculated cost to reload Cowboy 45 Special at today’s new component cost is as follows:

 

1. STAR. case:  $0.31 ($.31-$.39)

2. Primer:          $0.060-$.075

3. Powder.         $0.020-0.030

4. 180 grn HT.    $0.16

Total /rnd:       $0.55 -$0.675

 

Ranges depend upon how you buy components
