Yesterday: 50 rounds .223, 20 rounds 7.62x39, 75 rounds 9mm, 200 rounds 22lr
All except 22lr was reloads. Actual cost was about $30. The guy at the station next to me at the outdoor range was blowing 223 cases over me the whole time, and let me have them. so I brought 80 extra 223 cases home with me (at 10 cents per case), reducing my cost to about $22.
yes, reloading can save you money. Today, I am going to make up about 300 rounds of the 223 based on the test reloads I shot yesterday. This will cost me about $60. The last retail PMC that I purchase at Cabelas was 300 rounds for $100, and that was brass cased to I subtract $30 to bring the total to $70. I wouldn't reload this caliber if I could still get ammo at those prices. But the availability is nil and the price is so much higher than reloads that for the time being I am going with reloads.
