Thread: Best Price on .223

Dunno about that, the last time I saw the training ammo price it was pretty high unfortunately. Of course different shops will have different prices. i dont really think it will be all that cheap again. the 55gr pill can be had as low as 26 cents each. Good value i reckon

^ you're both right

Yes you can buy the Hornady training ammo cheaper than reloading it. Yes you can reload it cheaper than buying it.

Problem is buying supplies to reload in bulk, plus gear, plus time. Handy and cheap if you've got nothing to do from 5pm every night, harder to do if you have wife/kids/mistress with big tits/other hobbies.

Spending money to save money is always a hard argument to support - especially when the arguement is coming from wife/kids/mistress with big tits

For yippie .223 shooting it would be cheaper and easier to buy/perk it. I would buy factory if I had a high capacity shooter doing a lot of work.

I can load .223 for time and projectile cost only at the moment. I reckon I get a little better accuracy than good factory ammo. However it is only usable beyond 350 yards in my .223 I dont do much beyond that apart from the odd go at LR varmits or steel.
