Forty Bucks for Nothing

It looks like I can buy 1000 124-grain Laser-Cast bullets and load the damn things with Accurate No. 7 powder. However, to do that, I have to use slightly more than a pound of powder. So in other words, TWO pounds. This is supposed to be really swell .38 Super powder. I can use something called Ramshot True Blue and only buy a pound, but .38 Super nerds don’t get nearly as sweaty about it.

Here’s something fun. You have to pay a $20 hazmat fee per box, and that goes for primers and powder, and you can’t put the primers in the same box as the powder. Arrgh. Remind me again how cheap this hobby is. I’m going to be paying forty bucks right off the top, for absolutely nothing. Clearly, the only way to keep from getting utterly reamed is to order for as many calibers as I can. So I guess I better come up with loads for .45, .357, and .38 Super.

At least I got .38 Super figured out. The others ought to be easier, since they’re relatively normal calibers.
