I'd be really interested to know what the cost per round at those kind of volume actually is.

Didn't I read somewhere that we (as in the British Forces) destroyed gazillions of rounds of ammo when we left somewhere (Iraq??) as it was not cost effective to ship it back..?

I remember reading a while ago what the American army paid per round and was staggered it was so much. Something like 25 cents for 5.56 and 75 cents for 7.62.
