[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1760302, member: 423"] Both. Bullets for .223 are quite a bit cheaper than .308 - from what I see, price corresponds to weight of bullet, to an extent. Bigger bullet = bigger $$$. For pistols, powder is near negligible (~0.01$), not so for rifles, and .308 has more capacity than .223. Brass is also more expensive for .308. My figgers: .223 Match - [B]$324.59 / 1000[/B] Rem brass - New - Figure you can use it 6 times. $25.73/100 / 6 or [B]$42.88 / 1000[/B] Fed SRM Primers. [B]$30 / 1000[/B] Hodgdon H4895 powder. [B]$66.80 / 1000[/B] Sierra 69gr SMK bullets.
