    Indeed!

    With .223 factory brass ammo selling recently at 24 cents a round, what's the point of reloading .223? There arguably isn't one, unless you can make ammunition that is more accurate, or is otherwise superior in some way for your own particular purposes than what you can buy.

    Wolf Gold primed 223 cases $134 1k
    Nosler 52 gr CC $120 1k
    XBR 8208 $90 (25 gr $200 for 8lbs)
    Total $344 and definitely superior to M193/M855

    or

    Wolf Gold primed 223 cases $134 1k
    Hornady bulk 55gr $70
    WC844 $68
    Total $272 and markedly better

    plus your time. So yeah, not saving money. Labor of love really.

    Powder prices are still too high IMO. I've gotten those Noslers for as low as $90 per 1k.

    OP, check out midsouth shooters. They have sample bags of bullets you can buy. That way you don’t have to spend a lot for what you’re lookin got do. Also, a nice way to check out if a new bullet / powder combo is going to work for you when you do start reloading for precision.
