Hey guys.
I have a couple questions about reloading .223 and would love some answers.
I looked for the “So, you think you want to reload”-post, but didn’t find one.
How much, roughly, does it cost to reload my spent brass?
How much, roughly, does it cost to get set up?
Thanks in advance.
Oh and ballpark numbers are fine. 
I’m in a little bit of a hurry & don’t have my numbers in front of me right now, but once you’ve got the brass you’ll save around 30-50% reloading 223/556. It depends a little bit on how much you’re willing to shop around for components.
You can spend $70-ish/K on 55 grain FMJ’s; or over $200/K on Sierra 77 grain Match Kings. For my training loads I use Montana Gold 55 FMJ, or whatever I can find cheap. Just shop around, and keep in mind some companies out there have nice bulk discounts.
You can spend as much as you want to getting set up. I strongly recommend a Dillon press. There “no BS warranty” really is! Regardless, you’ll pay for your set-up in the first few thousand rounds.
To start, you’ll need a press, dies, a scale, micrometer, a powder measure, probably a chronograph at some point, and a good book. Read the book and poke around on forums like this before you start, it will help a lot.
Thanks a bunch for the info Kev.
Should be enough to get me started on the right path.
