I've already got all of the equipment I need. I reload on a Hornady LNL AP. I've got around 1500 223 bullets and 3-4 pounds of surplus 844 powder with no brass or primers left. I obviously will buy the primers and brass to finish those 1500 rounds out but to buy all the components, I can't reload for less than what it costs to buy Wolf ammo. I know that I can save the brass obviously but I don't shoot much. I mostly reload for teotwawki so it is hard to justify the extra money, not to mention time reloading it.
Here is the current price breakdown that I'm finding for 223.
Brass from Brassman $65 per k for Remington
Primers at Sportsmans Warehouse $27 per k
Powder at Sportsmans Warehouse $15.50 per # of Ramshot
Bullets vary $60 per k
I will obviously keep my reloading setup but for the time being, I will probably buy Wolf or whatever. I'm also needing a few k of 7.62x39 and can't possibly reload it for the price of Wolf or Golden Tiger. I can buy Wolf Locally for under $210 a k after tax.
I've got about $1300 to spend and was really thinking about getting an HK 91 clone and at least 100 G3 mags. Now I can't decide whether I should buy that or more ammo.
