I reload for my Ruger No. 1 in .223 heavy varmit. It's a .5 MOA rifle with the right loads. I've worked up the load carefully and load only a few hundred rounds at a time. Definitely worth it.

I also load for my AR. Mixed head stamp, 55g FMJ, 2 MOA rifle with plinking ammo. Cheaper components, fewer expectations for accuracy. runs me about .15/rd. w/ Xtreme bullets.

I'm still loading rifle on a single stage (rockchucker) so it's time consuming. Would like to get a progressive for rifle but I shoot a lot more pistol and I have three SDBs I use for pistol ammo.
