Yes to both questions. It is not either/or. that is espically true with your 250 round limit on possession.

The rounds are cheaper to build and since you have complete control over quality of input and meeting the requirements of your particular firearm you can obtaine better accuracy.

I have one 7.62 NATO rifle that will only give 4-6' groups at 100 yards with factory made or military ammo. That same rifle will shoot my carefully made and tailored reloads into 3/8" @ 100.

Im my area primers are $.03, proijectiles are $.30 and powder an estimated $.05. for total reload cost of $.38.

Factory bought ammo is $1 per round on the average. surplus in most calibers might go $.50-$.75.

That is if you can find any ammo in the U.S. these days. Most of the outlets are stripped bare due to our present Gun Control panic.
