That's an amazing price for loaded ammo. My handload consisting of a 50 grain Hornady V-Max over 25 grains of IMR4895 with a CCI 400 primer comes out to about 28 cents per round. The bullet is the real killer, at about 16 cents each.
My cost for my cast bullet handgun ammo (.357 and .44 mags, .45 Colt, .45 ACP) runs between six and ten cents per round, depending on which powder I'm using. Free bullets have a way of really keeping the costs down. My cast bullet .45-70 and .458 Winchester magnum loads start creeping back up into .223 territory at over 20 cents per round, but only because they chew through an awful lot of powder.
Boy, I have to say, at 27 cents per round, that's awfully tempting. Brass alone in .223 is 20 cents per round and up. To think, for a measly extra seven cents each, I can shoot them once before reloading. Hmmm...
