[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 916524, member: 3615"] Projectiles and powder are a little high in your estimation. 8 lbs of 2230 will load around 2200 cartridges and I paid 130ish delivered. 1K of 55gr 224 bullets are around 80 delivered. I have bought 223 brass for as little as 60 per thousand, and wolf primers can be found for 27-28 per thousand. I figure I can load 1K 223 for $240 if I discard cases after their 2nd firing, which I would never do. I just don't see being able to buy [COLOR="black"][COLOR="black"][U][B]quality brass cased ammo [/B][/U][/COLOR][/COLOR]for less than components, plus, when reloading you can use whatever components you please.
