Hornady 55 gr FMJBT are 0.07 each. Why on earth would you want to use cast at that price? Are you running on SNAP?
No disrespect cause I know some folks that are but they don't shoot.
Because I want to. A cast .22 cal projectile runs me less than half a cent. Besides, I don't want to shoot 55 gr FMJ. I want to shoot 37 gr cast bullets.
I can load a .223 cast round for less than you pay for the bullet alone.
Bullet is less than half a cent, powder is just over a penny and the primer is two cents. Let's call it $0.04 a round. If I run a gas check I have to add another penny.
