Excellent point. Last time I purchased .223 cartridges at Walmart, they averaged 70 cents/rd. I reload the same FMJ for .23 cents/rd. So no doubt there is a savings. However, it's only worth it if you're going to do a lot of shooting in a year's time. 100-150 rounds per yr- not sure it's worth the upfront expense.
