.223 Reloading - Cost effective?
Hey guys,
I just got my first AR-15 and put 150 rounds through in on Sunday. I know I'm going to be shooting this gun a lot. Now, I reload .45 ACP and it's definitely cost effective, mainly because I'm using lead bullets. Obviously with .223 that's not an option. I'm trying to figure out if it's going to save my any money reloading .223, espeically since I'll need to buy:
1. Case trimmer
2. Lee double disk kit for the auto disc powder measure
3. Case lube kit
4. Case tools (chamferer, etc)
5. .223 Dies
6. Bullets
7. Primers
8. Powder
My other question is about brass. I fired a bunch of Sellior & Bellot ammo and I'm wondering if their brass is ok to reload with or if I should buy new Remington brass or something.
To those of you that reload .223, what is it costing you per round? Saving any significant money over buying factory ammo?
