Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I get most of my stuff from ammoman also. BTW, there are no shipping costs from ammoman. If he says $279 for 500 Lake City, a box will show up at your door for $279.Originally Posted by al_g
I use this site: http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=.223
Even at today's prices assuming I only get two loads out of once fired brass it works out to $172 per K for 55 or 62 Gr. I am currently loading 55fmj for $98 per K since I bought supplies when they were cheap.
I just think that if you shoot any at all you have to load for it unless your shooting 7.62X25 or 7.62X54r.

Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
The prices these places are charging is really disgusting, and actually quite insulting. It infuriates me how these companies take advantage of us.
I actually got into reloading because of a buddy of mine told me how much more accurate it is. Back then it really wasn't about the savings, but the accuracy and I enjoyed it. I still enjoy doing it, but now there is a real monetary benefit to it as well.
Thanks for all the tips on sites guys, I will check around and see what I want to do. I will likely just buy the dies and components and start reloading.

Why only two re-loadings? Lost brass in the bushes? Or do the cases start to fail? I have only just in the last six months started reloading 223, but my 243 cases have been lasting for quite a few loads, one set of 20 has been reloaded at least five times.
Spleify: Also, if you reload 5.56 brass, the case volumes are a little less than 223, or so I have read. I use two different loads for 223 vs 5.56 cases I have. I should note that on the "223 vs 5.56" thread.
It was just a number. I have .223 brass that I have loaded 5-6 times so far. Go take a look at that thread again.

I have ordered from http://www.classicarms.us/ several times, 193 from 350-360 out the door and good service.
I just started reloading, tested my first batch today actually. Was shooting about 1 MOA compaired to 2 MOA with fed bulk.
Wallyword generally has the Feb bulk for 40 cents each or so.
Nice! I have found about the same results with my handloads vs factory, about a 50% decrease in group sizes. I wanna ask you what you load is so far, but this is the wrong thread for that.
I would like to hear some .223 loads that you guys are using and having luck with.
