phaedra1106 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ppu @ 9.50 for 20. Not worth reloading at that price imo Reloading a.223 costs me £21 to £25/100 (£4.20 - £5.00/20) so for me it's well worth reloading (and getting much higher quality ammunition than PPU) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather use my pass time out in the fields using ammo that using up that precious pass time making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not a lot to be honest, for general use about 20mins per 100 on a progressive press, hand loaded match quality about 60 to 75mins on a single stage press using either a Target Master trickler of my Hornady auto powder dispenser.

paul6806 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 My hand loads with 69gr SMK's, N140, CCI 400's, and Winchester cases work out at £55/100 for the 1st 100, less for each subsequent reload. Am on 8th reload currently with no pressure signs on the cases. Good for 600m with a 1in 9 twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregthegreat Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 £30 for 20 40 grain Federal V shok. Tried others, they just simply aren't as good so I pay for the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using them but at £30 a box I was finding them not worth the expense, changed too norma vmax 40g £18 a box and much tighter groups Edited February 16, 2013 by Olliesims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
