I've been going over whether or not I should get an AR in .223. I got an opportunity to get a Winchester 94E and AR kit assembled on a Next Generation Arms receiver for $875, with 60 rounds of 30-30 included but no .223 ammo. I've shot the AR a number of times as I know its owner personally and I've shot out to a hundred yards on a 10"x8" target and got most of the rounds inside the eight ring sitting at the bench so I know it's a good gun. But I don't reload yet, I'm ordering the press this week from Lee as my an uncle of mine in another state has one and have used before and he has used it to load a few thousand rounds over the years without a problem.
I was hoping folks who reload for .223 could help me out with the math on savings and where to go for supplies. I'm planning on ordering Priv Paritzan ammo at less than 40 cents a round for twelve hundred rounds, I'll also occassionally buy .223 at Wally World as folks don't seem to buy a lot of it around here and it usually is Winchester brand.
So my brass is covered. I figure the Priv Partizan and Winchester brands will take two or three reloads in the mild loads. I just need projectiles(bullets), primers and powders and was hoping folks could give me the best places to go for buying enough to load a thousand rounds, figure there would be good savings at that amount.
So I figure if I buy thousand projectiles at fifteen cents a projectile, it couldn't be more than another fifteen cents per the powder and primer if I buy allotments of a thousand. Please share your wisdom.
