223 reloading

[bugman15]

I've heard 223 ammo will be hitting the roof in price very soon, any idea what reloading costs per 100? Currently reload 40 S&W only but may be looking at 223.
Thanks for any info.

probably about $25/100 with 55 gr soft points or fmj

Costs/100 will depend on the bullet, powder, primer and brass combo you decide to use. Lapua Brass with Vithavouri powder, BR primers and Lapua bullets will cost more than Once fired Win range brass with Bulk Winchester SP bullets, Hodgdon powder and Win SR primers.

What are you loading for? Target? Small Game? Plinking?
