11. 1,000 rounds of .223 Remington costs between $350 - $400

Depending on brand, bullet grain, etc.

Price will fluctuate with availability, but .223 is a pretty common round (I assume, as the rifles that make use of it are popular -- I'm not a gun owner), so I doubt it get much more expensive that I'm seeing right now.

The rifles, on the other hand, those probably weren't cheap. Where he got the money for them is beyond me.
