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.
