| I was thinking of reloading my own 223 ammo for my new AR. Do you save money doing this? Is it pretty easy to do if I start with prepared brass,its pretty much prime,powder,crimp the bullet in right? |

The answer is "it depends". If you are adept at making (or your goal is) super accurate match ammo, you can certainly save alot of money. If you are just loading plinking ammo, you can probably load it for about $.09 to $.12 per round. However, you can buy SA for about $.12 per round. So, it is pretty much a wash. |

it's pretty much a wash ..... .....but there's hardly any risk involved with factory or military ammo. The vast majority of AR15 blowups occur while firing reloads. I can see loading for match ammo, but not reloading for any purpose. Use new primed brass (no Hazmat) and sell the once fired brass to folks who want to spend their time loading rather than practicing. -- Chuck |
