Figuring costs of reloading
Loading .223 for casual shooting.
Bullet: 7 cents
Powder: 10 cents
Primer: 3 cents.
It costs me 20 cents to load a round. Monarch .223 steelcase is 27 cents in the 20 round boxes on the shelf at Academy sporting goods stores. Probably get it down a couple cents buying in quantity.
I'm prepping and loading brass to save 7 cents a shot, $7 per hundred?
I never ran the numbers before.
By contrast , that $25 box of .357 mag costs me about $5.50.
For just plinking or casual shooting, it hardly seems worth it.
