I think the biggest factor is how much is your time worth, and because I enjoy reloading and don't shoot a stupid amount (of centre fire anyway), it doesn't bother me to reload.

Absolutely, but when the Hornady stuff shot great out of my rifle, I bought 1500 rounds of it.... working through my last box of 500 now.

Trying the Belmont stuff and Barnaul to see if either of them will shoot well enough. I am not going to handload bulk .223.
