exactly..... you guys should really look into reloading. if you plan on buying any kind of quantity the its cheaper that way.





24 lbs of powder ( loads about 7000 rounds of .223 @ 24 gr. per round )
$354.00

6000 rounds of 55gr Jacketed bullets
$450.00

3000 rounds of once fired military brass
$347.00

5000 primers
$150-apprx


cost PER round(reloaded): $.27

cost Per round(buy from store-if you can find it):

Bass pro shops - 50 gr remington UMC (40 rds-$23.99) = .60 cents per round
Sportsman's guide.com - 55 gr federal FMJ (150 rds- $82.97) = .55 cents per round

etc etc....




you have to buy a reloading press which is about $250. load 2k rounds and the press had paid for itself and the ammo is still cheaper.
