By the way - SBR is out of everything for the Socom. Their cheapest load which uses the Hornady 300 grain JHP (when it's in stock...) is $54.50 for a box of 20, or $2.75 each.
My handloads using that same bullet run $1.82 everytime you squeeze the trigger. But that is adding in the cost of the brand new unfired brass for the first loading. After the initial loading if you subtract the cost of the brass, the price goes down to $0.60 per round.
If you have SBR load your cases using the Barnes 300 grain TTSX, they charge $2.52 per round for unfired brass or $2.62 for fired brass.
My handloads using the Barnes 300 gr TAC-TX (same bullet) run $2.45 for the first loading/firing, then $1.23 each after that.
The initial cost of the gun is a pretty big chunk, but then you have to feed that hungry sumbeotch.
