    This isn't directed at you WM, but I'm still perplexed at how
    the cheapest bulk 223 is .40c/Rd + Tax and shipping. Is it our dollar? It was only a few years ago it was .30c/Rd or even less.

    This is a good deal nowadays but I just don't get it.

    I live in Manitoba so does it go by Manitoba tax if I purchase this ammo? Says free shipping which is sweet

    How much cheaper can you really get 223 ammo when reloading compared to .40-.45 cents a shot?

    By my calculations using the cheapest components currently available 27c/Rd. But I have a ton of range brass I have picked up over the years so I don't factor that in. There seems to be a disconnect I am not accounting for somewhere between the two.

    Either way, thanks for providing the awesome bulk ammo western metal!

    And what also isn't being factored in is paying wages, business overhead, and maybe a bit of profit too. WM has to factor those things in.

    the only reason to reload at this price is hobby / wanting a accurate load. (changing bullet weights) i reload 223 and 27cent a round is probably very close, primer , powder, bullet and brass not including the reloading set up. it is fun and a bit challenging but yah ...

    Assorted brass? Mostly Federal? Is it possible to get lots of 1000 with all the same brass?
