"Second, it costs as much to reload ammo as it costs to buy the cheap factory ammo so there isn't any savings to cover your effort and no improvement in accuracy to make it worth it."
I would argue with that. I am poking my X39 full with a 130 grain projo, identical to the milsurp in shape, for somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 pennies, depending on how far I can amortize the 7 cent case cost. Still using up a batch of AA 2200 I bought years ago for $50/8# promo.
If ya don't count my time, and no one does when doing something they enjoy, that's a pretty good savings over bought ammo. Same with 5.56.
I haven't seen 5.56 or X39 milsurp/reman anywhere lately for less than 30 cents a pop. Until my input costs go up exorbitantly, I think I'll keep on keepin' on.
