Cute As A Speckeled Puppy

My whole purpose is to threaten the he!! out of the masses! If the masses are going to mess with me I will mess back.

Mind that I do not flash my firearms about any. Nice and sedate, cased and safe,, but the look on the faces when they come out of the case is priceless!

.223 rounds use about the same amount of powder as .357 and the bullet is 55-75 grains and a small rifle primer so they are no more expensive to reload than .357. Jacketed bullets are as cheap as $0.11, primers are about $0.04, powder about the same.

Buying surplus ammo new rounds are $0.20 per shot so I only reload .223 for my long range rifles. I have a SS in .223 that I shoot cast lead reloads.

So I have rifles, pistols and carbines from single shot to bolt action and semi-auto all in .5.56/.223. It is a great little round.
