[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2613442, member: 63925"] No not at all from my perspective but if you are in a very small startup manufacturing operation, day to day costs are what you keep afloat and to begin prosper. Obviously it would be nice to have at bullet1, but day to day costs for survival are paramount to any manufacturing operation. Time not making bullets or sales may determine if doors stay open. The standard manufacturing phrase still applies: if you are not making product, you are not making money. My point is the cost of the equipment is secondary to having "extra" resources on payroll that is not making product to perform this work. Their time is no longer contributing to their profit. Lathes sitting idle only add to the companies deficit and not profit. Young companies struggle to hit their profit numbers which is why some grow and others fail. Its obviously a shave the beard off Lincoln business to grow and profit or otherwise CE in business since 2001 would have done it as well at day 1. In addition, some of the Hammer BC's are actually stated to be an estimate which should be recognized as "ball park" estimate to help set some basic parameters for finding drops. Companies like CE, BP, Hammer and so on are "boutique" style businesses that are recognized to be used experienced shooters for most part since they do not have reloading data manuals and expect experienced shooters know how to develop loads from their own experience. This same expectation is for BC's IMO. They are provided to get you in ball park set develop your own drops based upon your rifle, load, location, environmental conditions etc. Lastly, I also asked some follow up questions. Time to perform these tests and or cost to farm out is certainly a mitigating factor in any business decision. Then there is the overall value to the business no matter what the business may be. What will I gain versus cost? Businesses have struggled with this question since first caveman had a fire starting business. [/QUOTE]
