Too bad the Steel case ammo isn't particularly common anymore. Think I paid $70 for 100 rounds, would definitely do it again if any shops had some!
Thing with reloading is you can choose what projectile you like, yes some bulk ammo is almost as cheap and a lot easier.
But if you want 53gr Vmax's in 223 you are either paying $2 A ROUND, or you wont be shooting them.
75gr Amax in 223? Never seen it in factory ammo in NZ.

It's when comparing premium products that the savings come into play.
If I was shooting 100's of rounds of 223 in a day, there's no way I'd be reloading it!
