Economical loads usually involve a cheaper bullet. That is really the only place you can save much money. Shooting light charged loads really doesnt save enough powder to make a big difference.

Hornady and sierra bullets seem to be priced right. And they are gooder than hell. You can save a lil on other brands but performance for dollar wont be as good I wouldn't think. Good luck

I dont see how to save any money without picking up brass at the range. If you buy $5 cheaper bullets per box you only save .05 per round. just load up some rounds and have a blast.

I shoot 175g pulled smk's out to 1k and haven't noticed a difference from the regular bullets plus they were alot cheaper!43.5g varget in win cases and tula primers for my 700p. That is my economical load compared to the .50 and .338
