latest reload batch savings

[CJ]

Thought I might post this to show the savings of reloading. This is my cheap plinking batch of .223.

(500) Winchester 55gr fmjbt projectiles.....$39.00
(500) CCI small rifle primers.......................$12.50
(500) .223 cases............................................. $0.00
(500) IMR-4198 Powder*.............................$19.97

Total............................................. .................$71.47

Not too bad, that's about 14 bucks per 100 rounds.

*8lbs IMR-4198......119.00, 8lbs=56000gr, 18.8gr per round, 18.8 x 500=9400gr, 9400/56000=.1678, .1678 x 119.00=$19.97

Thats awsome, why the hell did I sell my press! I havent forgot about that brass for you, just havent had time to get it all out and sort through it.

Great price...IF you have cases.

It is a lot of work though to trim cases and what not.

It's relative, most once shot brass needs no trim. I use a powered trimmer, can do about 10 cases a minute or so. For long range ammo it takes quite a bit for precision.

thats kind of nice to hear. One day I will get into reloading. I just dont have the expendable income right now.

I wish i could find primers that cheap. Up here they are 32-34 per 1k.

Geez, for that price I would buy online. They are $24.95 at alpine in Kennedale.
