5.56/223 ammo prices

460/1000 seems about right. Tenda has AE for that and I think you still get the $50 USD/1000 Mail in rebate, so that puts them in the $400 range.

The rebate is over ????

After seeing bulk prices, I think I am going to be reloading. Why the heck are prices still so damn high!

You might want to give it a try if you shoot some good amounts and for accuracy.. you don't need to spend a ton but it can get away from you because it's addictive as well

Not sure if it is a good deal or not, but I just got a couple thousand rounds for about 25 cents apiece in a private sale.

This, I just roll my own. Just finished a couple hundred rounds of my woodchuck special. With the premium varmit bullet the cost for 200 rounds was $80. If I bought commercial ammo with same bullet it would be $340. Plus it makes my Tavor more like 2 MOA gun with the better hand made rounds, good enough for beavers and woodchucks.

Progressive press? Thinking I need to get one for .223/5.56.

The Federal Independence stuff from SFRC is still some of the cheaper stuff I've seen.

Actually I did these on a single stage press. I typically keep my progressives setup in handgun calibers. If my brass is primed and prepped I can crank off about 125 rounds in a hour on the single stage. I don't mind the leisurely production I enjoy the quality me time.
