The 223 is the perfect reloader’s cartridge. You can recycle them for well under 40c/piece. Just NS, prime, charge and off you go. I can turn 40 fresh range brass around in about an hour... I don’t get the whole “223 is too cheap to reload” argument. Last I checked, half of factory price is well, half the cost... that adds up mighty quick if you’re shooting any volume.

If your time starved.
Paid big bucks at work.
Cost of components
Can save or earn money in more efficient ways

and 223 OSA ammo whilst accurate also only clocks in just over 3000fps
