OUTDOORS Return on investment -- reloading your own ammo

By MONTY STEPHENS Special to the Reporter

There are a lot of rea- sons for reloading your own ammo. Some shoot- ers like to fine tune their “loads” as they strive for perfection in accuracy. Other folks must reload because ammunition for their particular gun is no longer manufactured. Without a doubt the top reason to reload is -- it’s cheaper than buying fac- tory ammo. This begs the question, “how much cheaper is it?” When making com- parisons of factory ammunition to reloaded ammunition, the range in variances are immense. With factory ammo you will pay extra for the type of bullet, powder load, brass quality, and to a degree, research costs. With reloads, you pay extra for the type of bullet, powder load, and brass quality. OK, pretty much the same things. Except in reloads there is an infinite number of combinations. But for cost comparisons, we’ll focus on the basic, lower cost ammo for both fac- tory ammo and reload ammo. I did a quick check COURTESY PHOTOS of local ammo costs ABOVE: Pictured is a basic single stage bullet press for reloading.

By LAUREN ZUMBACH Tribune News Service

Retailers got a gift from shoppers this season, according to early data on holiday retail sales. Sales, excluding automobiles, were up 4.9 percent between Nov. 1 and Christmas Eve, the largest year-over-year increase since 2011, according to Mastercard SpendingPulse, which tracks online and in-store spending. “I think people were a little too negative going into this holiday season,” said Sarah Quinlan, senior vice president of Market Insights at Mastercard. “We could see the consumer was more and more confident each month.” Rising retail sales — especially for big- ger-ticket durable goods — were a sign consumers were feeling good about the economy and would be more willing to open their wallets, Quinlan said. “Low unemployment and gains in hous- ing prices and equity prices all give people a sense of security, and I think that gives them a sense of willingness to spend,” said Jack Kleinhenz, chief economist at the National Retail Federation. The first three weeks of November saw significant increases in spending, which Mastercard attributed to retailers’ efforts FILE to get shoppers in stores with sales early in Ramsey Baughman (from left) and Brody Baughman, 2, get help from McDuffie Marine and Sporting Goods sales clerk Jon the season.

The final tally for the 39 HealthCare.gov states showed about 80,000 fewer sign-ups than an initial count provided last week, before the Christmas holiday.
