*$0.257/shot*-60gr Sierra HV HP Varminter + 25gr H4895 + WSR + LC09 Brass (Estimated 3155fps)
*$0.281/shot*-65gr Sierra Spitzer BT GameKing + 24gr H4895 + WSR + LC09 Brass (Estimated 3000fps)
*$0.360/shot*-77gr Sierra HPBT MatchKing + 23gr H4895 + WSR + LC09 Brass (Estimated 2750fps)
The *Price/Shot* is for everything; brass, primers, powder, and projectiles.
The 65gr Sierra and 60gr V-MAX did the best groups at 100yards. I still need to test 55gr V-MAX, 55gr Sierra ballistic tip, then maybe try almost same loads using Varget powder instead of H4895

Those prices seem pretty high. Are you not reloading your own brass? Buying bullets in bulk will really help keep costs down. I can load 55 grn .223 for around 11 or 12 cents a round.
