Re: 5,56 Ammo
Those are component costs? Your time charge will vary.
One thing for sure, you will absolutely know what's in your rifle. That peace of mind is valuable.
If you have an AR you're talking of keeping things towards the hot end to insure good function, though with carbines this may not be so critical. In rifles the man had to go hotter because of energy budget issues.
What are you fixing to do? If you just shooting at "stuff" I'd stick with conventional hunting rounds. Less chance of ricochet than with the steel penetrator in an SS109 popping loose and coming on back. Midway's Dogtown bullets are decent as are Factory Seconds. I've bought factory seconds, they're butt ugly but shoot fine. Other vendors may sell factory seconds on hunting rounds.
Another is Armscorp. These come from the Philippines. The FMJs do not have great accuracy but are good enough for shooting.
Prvi Partisan makes reloading components that are affordable. Prvi Partisan is based in Serbia.
The sky's the limit if you want more accuracy. How much money do you want to spend?

maybe not the cheapest. But if you want factory ammo, give IMI "Razor Core" 69 gr (Sierra Bullets) HPBT-Match or 77 gr. flavor a try.

I don't put steel cases through an aluminium rifle.
Just my $0.02.
