Maybe I'm stingy, but 67˘/round is beyond my "this is worth it" threshhold for "practice" ammo.
I don't want to pay for that kind of performance to shoot at 25-50yds, which is where most of my shooting with my ARs happens.
(NB: I do have some FGMM and some Norma factory ammo loaded with 77gr SMKs, and I'm starting to reload .223, but that's for special occasions and longer distances.)
Even shooting 7.62NATO, milsurp ball ammo at 50˘/round seems like "too much" to me, so I'm starting to reload.
