250 at my local club. One near central NY that goes out to around 750-800. I go down to Ridgway Pennsylvania a couples times a year for the 1000 yarder. Go out west and you can start touching 1-2 miles. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/7/67299d2e03d9af63a5456fe518309d15063eea19.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/d/5/d56139c98e8f1b68e777d18a0a344eec81f89109.jpeg) If you wanna put serious energy downrange, .338 Lapua Magnum is hard to beat… ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/6/6602198d5cb3c6a36716379662d2f6c58dad3d5c.jpeg) ---

@1QIKZ I’ve only heard negative things about pressing your own rounds. What’s your experience? ---

Actually there’s a huge difference. Hand loads are like a tailored suit. Each gun performs differently. Hand loading allows me to tailor my bullets, brass, powder, and primers to a combination that performs well in that particular barrel. There’s a lot of parameters that can be adjusted. The cost is a benefit as well. I just enjoy the process and science. ![shot_1601819800791](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/0/b093e625a8450bba0e2b0a21327357e5ec1b2e23.jpeg) ---

I have fired thousands of hand pressed rounds and not had an issue. You need to be extremely cognizant of what you’re doing while making rounds so as to not have a doubt load or anything. Spot checks are key. ---

“Run of the mill” .50BMG rounds used to br available for $5-10 a round. Of course depending on characteristics and market rate, those can go up. My Bread and butter ammo (6mm Creedmoor) costs me about $ .50-.60 a round in materials. Decent factory ammo of this caliber is going for well over a $1.00 a pop…if you can find it. Today’s supply and demand has reloaders investing in the precious metals group…brass, lead, and copper. ---
