Now like at Big-5 when they have them you’re limited to three boxes of a hundred. I’d like to get into re-loading but the initial cost is a bit much. I’d like to experiment with different loads and bullet weight. My action rifle is a Savage 22-250 bull barrel sighted in at 500yds. I go to eastern WA and hunt prairie dogs.
I bought them a thousand at a time 6-7 years ago. Same with .22 LR. Just tossed a couple bricks in the cart every time I went to Cabelas or such. I remember when Ammoman had Lake City green tip 5.56 ammo for less than $200 a thousand. I was buying it just for the brass. I stopped when the floor joists started creaking.
One used to get a better ROI on reloading. But I got into it so I could tune the load to the gun. And its still a great hobby and a really good skill to have. Think about taking it up.
Best,

Lee Loader is about $30 and all you need to load 1 caliber. Guy on youtube loads a .308 cartridge in 47 secs.
