    35cents/round for XM855

    So, Brownells is offering free shipping, to include their megabarrel of 12500 rouunds of m855 for $4300.

    Maybe I should order this and sell off 1000 rounds to 11 people locally to even out the cost.
    Good idea bad idea?

    Bad idea. You need at least 20% profit for the grief you're gonna get.

        If you dont mind 12,000 Rounds go for it! Can be a hassle tho!

          True, I do need a profit, don't know if I can easily sell a thousand rounds at almost 400.
          Well they're still backordering, and I highly doubt prices are going to drop anytime soon.
          Guess I'll pass, thanks for the feedback though gents.

            Lee press, and all accessories for about $200 with dies for one caliber,
            .223 in this case (I read this morning).
            Figure you buy 3000 (X)M855 projectiles for $250+$23.11 shipping.
            Buy 32LBS of pulled WC846 $437.74 (shipping included, hazmat fee waved w/32LBS)
            5000 #41's at a gun show $129.25 (not including gas...)

            You could start reloading for ~$1040.10, and press M855 for about $0.1529/ea, while making your money back @ a rate of about ~$0.1971 per round... and have the press paid off in only 1014.713343 rounds.

            You could save even more per round if you went with M193 rounds, in looking at PMC Bronze prices this morning...

            Reloading would ALSO give you time away from the wifey... in the MAN-ZONE.
            I'm just saying...
