I am a newbe to this caliber. Is there a difference when it comes to loading this round between the 5.56 and .223?
What is a good cheap bullet to use. Montana Gold has a case of 3500 for $239.
Anybody willing to post some recipes that will work in an AR consistantly? this will be used just for plinking to start.
From my calculations, using free range brass and Montana Gold bullets, I should be able to load 1000 rounds of .223 for about $161.
Brass - free
Bullets - $239 / 3500 bullets
Powder - $18/lb
primers - $29/1000
I know I could probably do better on the price if I really looked around.
