Last I checked I was <$1 per round even with new starline brass and getting about 10 reloads per case.

If you go .22 creedmoor, hit me up. There's still some 6 creed brass sitting on my shelf I think. Easy neck down. No dicking around with the mags.Like @KRC mentions, if I was going to do it again, I wouldn't choose the 224V for a new build.
I have used most of my 224V stash, so I have been thinking of converting my bolt gun to either 22 ARC or 22 Creedmoor. These are the new hotness in the 224 bullet space. I have one friend building a 22 ARC bolt gun with a bartlein 6.7 twist for the longer bullets.
I tend to agree about the round, Its a lot easier to stick with common loads but It sounds like its a win for the price even if you sell the barrel or full upper and build it into something else.Wow $1.68 per round to reload. New factory ammo is cheaper. I am having 2nd thoughts about this rifle!
That's a mighty pricey projectile you chose.What are your numbers?
