Cash is King Nice guy... NO MORE Registered: 09/15/11 Posts: 6205 Loc: Various City or County: Various	Originally Posted By: A Virginian For me, buying all 3 components in bulk. Hornady 55 gr .07 CCI SR Primer .028 Powder CFE223 .087 Total 18.5 cents per round, excluding labor. Great recap... Slight trim on those numbers can be had... BUT NOT MUCH. S&B primers on sale are $0.02... rarely do any better than that. Pills can be a penny or two cheaper, but not Hornady. Plated maybe $0.05... pulls maybe $0.06. He is under a penny on powder... little to trim there. I don't reload .223 for that reason. _________________________ IF you spend your lifetime acting the victim, your Participation Trophy will ALWAYS be a Busted Nose.
