I can load for slightly less than factory steel cased ammo. Usually around $0.22-$0.23 per round if I remember correctly.

It depends on if you already have the reloading equipment or not. I don't know if I would spend the money on all the stuff needed to just reload 223. It would take many rounds to see any savings there once you figure in all the cost. This article is old, but still relevant.

Depends on what you want to do, for just blasting paper it's not worth it. Just pick up your brass and give it to me.

I already had the equipment and my 75-77 gr loads are way more accurate than anything I've bought. Plus I can load the 64gr bonded bullets how I want them.

For blasting crap I'll just buy the cheapest steel cased ammo I can find.

Mine actually cost more now, even though I'm using top of the line stuff,,,BUT, I bought my supplies when they were hard to come by. Was that smart, I dunno? But I had boolits if the zomby attacked.
