    reloaded .223 ammo?

    I sold my AR-15 about a month ago. I have about a 1000rds of 55gn reloaded ammo left. I am wondering what should I do with it?

    You can make it right now for about $280/1000 if you have to buy once-fired brass, or about $170/1000 if you have brass already.

    I'd imagine that if you're going to sell it, potential buyers will probably want to know what powder, primer, bullet, and brass you used, OAL, and any other information you have about them.

    Sounds like a lot of trouble to me.

    You should just get another AR, shoot it, then sell the AR.

    My numbers are very similar to XD40SC's... Except I can get unprocessed brass for about $50./1000 (.05 ea.). You can get it for free if you pick it up at the range.

    I'll consider buying some of the brass. If I had an AR to test some of the ammo, and you were close I'd consider taking the ammo as well.
