[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1498473, member: 10963"] I am looking at getting a lee loadmaster and getting into reloading. I found a recipe for .223 and I added it up and even before shipping on the cheapest ammo I was buying and buying mixed once fired unprocessed brass. I "save" 5 cents a shot or 11.5 cents a shot with my own brass. The source I got the recipe said the specs for a 62 gr bullet to be 3100+ Fps give or take 35fps. I will obviously look for the proper powder amount for the 55grn round I am looking to use but for evaluating the price per round I based it on this formula. Wsr primer Winchester .224 55gr fmj/c/bt Win 748 27.3gr I priced all the componant at powder valley. I guess I am posting to get feed back on what you think about the recipe and if you know any cheaper brands for the components that are still comparable. I might try to put an order in for pickup at the moneymaker. But I am probably too late for that. [/QUOTE]
