    The Reality Of Reloading .223

    Lets hear anyone and everyone's thoughts on the reality of reloading .223 ammo. In our tough economic times we have to think of ways of saving money. Do you think it is smarter to buy materials needed to reload .223 or will you still go to the gun store and/or gun show to stock up on mass ammounts ammo?

    It is way more cost efficient to reload. Even better now with .223 because of the price of ammo. I stock up and reload. I think this belongs in the ammo and reloading section too...
    Highest quality once fired brass for sale! PM for stock and prices!

      Only problem is that the supplies are drying up. If you can get them, it's more cost-efficient to reload, even in good times.

        Well it's about $0.18 per round for reloading last time I calculated, and $0.30 per round if you buy Wolf.


        Reloading wins if you are into it.

            Its tough to reload for cheap right now with everybody buying up all the components and then reselling it for butt raping prices.

                    If I had to do over I would have taken the money I spent on all the reloading equipment and just bought cases of quality match grade ammo and been much happier.

                    Take care,Stan
                    In all seriousness... please PM me if you are interested in liquidating your components. I will take them all and pay cash if you just want to recoup your costs. LMK

                        Yeah reloading will take away precious time away from your wife and she may end up leaving. PM me if you wanna sell off your small rifle primers. I have cash in hand and will pick up FTF...

                          Better to reload. Bought some cheap Federal crap and it fouled my rifle way too fast - and made it tough to clean. I won't make that mistake again.

                              I love reloading, it is one of the things I enjoy on a Saturday morning before the kids get up. I build about 200 45 ACP rounds a week, and enjoy honing the short game.

                              Rifle I dont do a lot of loading for right now, as my 308 is still in its "parts" stage.

                              This is exactly identical to knowing you make $27,000 a year, spending $37,000 a year, having $170,000 on the credit card and then whining that it's "unfair" when the card company won't let you run up another 10 large.

                              This, incidentally, is our Federal Government right here, right now, today -- just add the zeros to the above and you get our tax revenue, our spending, and our federal debt.
