Hi Everybody
I am going to start shooting the local 3 gun.
Iknow I will have to START reloading.
What is the average cost per round for 223 and 40cal?
I have kept 3k rounds of good brass.
Thanks

If your want to shoot mil spec 55gr fmj's on top of H355 using CCI 41 primers, you are looking at ~10-15 cents per round. If you want to load Ballistic Silvertips the cost goes way up.
Good luck
Primers cost me $22 per 1,000 and getting harder to find some places are $28. (Cabelas in MI is out and told me they won't get more until FEB 08)
Powder is still fairly cheap
If you have your own brass you should be able to load close to $100 per 1,000 rounds.
I have about $450 in my loading set up.
I like the Hornady Lock N Load which is slower, but works for me.
Good luck.
