[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1390571, member: 12995"] Compared to the .223/5.56, absolutely it will be a [B]HUGE[/B] step-up in performance, and from a hunting perspective, it will be a massive improvement over the .223. But at $20-$25 a box versus $6 a box Lake City XM193 or XM855 is going to be hard to stomach for plinking. As for reloading, once brass is bought, it should still cost about 2x what it costs for 5.56, for the heavier high BC bullets compared to bulk 77gr Nosler CC's and with the greater powder capacity, it will use more powder. But even at 2x the cost of 5.56, that's still relatively cheap to load for. [/QUOTE]
