Savhmr Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 £10/20 is roughly what you pay if reloading (based on once fired brass bought). If you shoot a lot it may be worth investing in a cheap Lee Load All as you'll recoup costs very quickly then start saving. Based on 6 uses/case (hot loads) and buying once fired the costs come down to £8.60/20. Last 223 I bought a few years back (Remington) was £24.50/20. Food for thought?

I’d had them 2-3 years so was just wanting the brass. The only down side was at 250 yards they drop 3 inches compared to my reloads that drop an about an inch.
