Armor piercing bullets for $80 for 1K? BS. I reload, and I know much ingredients cost.
Using your numbers, it comes out to $560 for 2K or $336 for 1200 or 28 cents a piece for run of the mill FMJ ammo.
Tell me again why OP is not a good deal?
Oh, yea, do not forget $500-$700 for the press, dies, bullet and brass feeders, etc. And your time.
And brass from the OP is all mine to use for free.

So your cost is $560,if that includes shipping, would mean yours are .28 a round not counting (the cost of) having all the reloading equipment and all the free time to load 2k rounds. Since they are reloads I would consider offering .20 a round if you want to sell some.
Time doesn't cost nothing though right?
I reload, primarily 30 cal. When you are talking cents difference between reloading and buying, I will opt for buying. When you start pushing +.20, then I will consider doing it myself.
I have 2 kids and am a trucker. Load 200 here and there. I've got I've got like 40$ in a once fired loading of 250 rounds.

Still $.16/round. Lets say it takes an hour to produce the ammo, and you value your time @ $20/hr, it increases your cost to .24/round. Is it worth the penny / in savings to load? Now keep in mind, there is no way I could load that fast (maybe 50/hr, single stage press for me), and my time is worth more than $20/hr. .25/round for ANY 5.56 is a great deal, especially when I dont have to worry about how I have loaded it, or spent my time to do it.
