Out of powder and cases so started looking at cost for supply's. I use cfe 223 powder, cci 41 primers, Hornady 62 grain fmjbt bullets. If I had to purchase cases, once fired .223 for 1000 cost 205.96. The powder would cost 72.38 for 2 pounds. The primers cost 116.99. The bullet cost 109.90. Hasmat fee 22.99. total cost 418.32. I can get Winchester lake city 55 grain for 489.99 for a 1000. Granted its not the same powder, primers, or bullet weight. but the cost is close. Does it make since to have to do all the labor to make 1000 rounds for a savings of a few cents a round?
