That was pretty cool

Found out how many .223 rounds you can load with BL-C(2). With 27 grains of powder, it was 259 rounds. Quick math check. 7000 grains per pound, divided by 27, equals 259.26.


My cost is $5.34 per 20 rounds using 55 grain Hornaday at $14/100, 1 lb powder $23 - 259 rounds. Using Win small rifle primers at 3.79 per 100. (I have cheaper options) Saves $2.60/box on plinking ammo IF you don't mind the time. I need cheaper bullets. I can get them cheaper at Scheels, just need to get out there. Didn't include brass, as it is paid for already, but will need replaced eventually.
