Re: 5.56/.223 reloading

Here's a relative example per 1,000:

1. $62/1,000 Powder - Winchester 748 (purchased in 8 lb. quantity) (Powder Valley)
2. $20/1,000 Primers (Cotton's stash)
3. $77/1,000 Bullets - 55 gr. FMJ (Montana Gold)
Total $159/1,000

Note, I don't include brass cost because I have more than the U.S. Army shot in Vietnam. (An exaggeration, but not by much. :thumbs2: )

I'm absolutely sold on Dillon equipment. I have two 650's with one set up for large primers and one for small. I also have the Dillon case trimmer that really speeds up reloading rifle cartridges. (Loading rifles calibers is MUCH slower than pistol calibers.) I also have an RCBS Case Master that's motorized with the case chamfering, deburring tools and primer pocket brushes turning constantly.
