I am in Toccoa and have not bought any WWB .223 55gr ammo since they have opened their new store. Upon getting to the Sporting goods dept. I see they want $9.82 a box of 40.
 Is this $2 a box price increase the same everywhere else?

Yep. I've seen that price increase at Walmarts in Winder, Buford, Duluth and Gainesville. Kick in the balls, ain't it?

Yea, I have been buying wolf but cleaning after using it made the wwb a pleasure to shoot. I guess I am going to have to save up and buy in bulk. Maybe after we get out of the sandbox the CMP will get some surplus 5.56. One can dream

I have done quite a bit but just don't have the room or the time right now. I am lucky to have enough time to even shoot. BTW haven't done any .223 reloading, mostly 45 auto. I need to save up for a Dillon 650. |

For that price I'd rather buy black hills stuff from JKiser for a little bit more. WWB is still pretty dirty from what I hear on the .223 stuff.
Surplus seems to be the only way to go right now. |

Price has gone up in Statesboro as well.
It is a good thing I roll my own. |

How long does it take to reload say....................100 rounds?
Just wondering as I'm thinking about it, but if its really time consuming, its worth it to me to just buy it. |

The faster you want to go, the more expensive the equipment will be. |

Georgia Arms canned heat is 18 cents a round. Not to bad if you figure in how much your time is worth to do the reloading, the cost of the machine, etc.
Personally, I have neither the time nor the patience for reloading. |

I hope this is true, 20rds Remington .223 on sale at BPS for $2.88 at the end of May. Waiting for some type of confirmation. |

This is true, I use a combination of presses to reload semi-auto rifle cartridges. I use an RCBS to size and de-cap, the brass is cleaned and cut to length. I then use a handheld RCBS shell capper to install the primers (I can feel the process better). Ok, now its time to move to the Dillon, now the process goes pretty quick, checking rounds frequently for powder weight and in the cartridge micrometer. This last procedure I can do 300 rds an hour. Remember, rifle cartridges are not like loading .45 acp. I'll only reload .223 four times and will never use Federal brass. Heck, I still have .45 brass in my .45 bin that I shot in the 80's. I do agree, reloading .223 is the way to go. Buying powder by the 8 lb cans and projectiles by the 1k, you do save a lot of $. |

On my Dilllon 550 I can easily pump out 100 in 15 minutes. That's if I have all my primer tubes pre-filled and all my brass cleaned and lubed. Filling the primer tubes takes about as long as it does to crank out the rounds, once you get your groove on, the rate will increase. It is not uncommon for me to load 1000 rounds of 5.56 in a sitting, taking a break to refill primers of course. |
