I think you can get close. If you have the brass $200 for bullets, $35 for primers and about $60 in powder if you buy in jugs. This is just going off of the prices I have seen and what I have been paying.Quote:

Personally, I think I'd have a heart attack thinking about how much $ it costs me every pull of the trigger. I enjoy my time reloading knowing that it's the best ammo for my rifle and application. I can't put a price on that.
depending on your occupation, marital status, and general importance you put into shooting, the cost still matters. yes, i would rather reload a good round for $0.40 a round than buy a crappy one for $0.30 a round, but i also don't want to reload for $1.00 a round when a reasonable one can be bought at $0.50 a round. so, to most, the cost does matter somewhat, even if it isn't the be all end all. i have considered switching to this caliber, has some intriguing advantages, but i also don't want to get into it finding out its immensely expensive. really if you can get a round down to the 30-40 cents per round range reloaded then it at least beats manufactured 223, which makes such a switch more financially understandable.Quote:

So...my initial thought was wrong... there we have 31 cents per round...if you already have the brass. I'm going to the range this weekend and blowing off a few hundred. WOOOHOOO!!!!
Damn! Where'd you find primers for $25? Right now and probably in the foreseeable short term future, reloading is the only way to go. So far I've only found Remington factory ammo at LGS and it was only a few boxes. $32/20 of Remington 125gr matchking and $23/20 220gr subsonic.
My gun range has been consistently having them in stock...July, I picked up a thousand for $25. Planning on heading out his weekend...I'll see if they still have them. They do limit quantities so all members have access to some. Sometimes a 1k limit...sometimes a 500 limit. I'll check their current price as well. Primers are one thing I haven't run low on. They have also been stocking H110 and Lil Gun powders which I have been consistently picking up as well.Quote:
