hard to beat the 223 for ubiquity.

Just keep an eye out for sales when it comes 6.8 stuff. S&B loads are regularly ran on sale for 11.99/20 and PSA had mags for 4.99/ea around new year's. I'm stocked for a while!

screaming deal on the mags. I'm stocked too, but if I saw that price, I might have been over-stocked! grin

Sorry for the delayed response. I don't check into this topic very often.

I've only reloaded any of it 2x at the most. No issues so far.

I troubles me to see the Hornady loaded 6.8 ammunition just sitting there on the shelf in Academy Sports every time I go in there. It just hate seeing it sitting there on the shelf doing nothing. I don't need a 6.8 but I am compelled to build one just to keep that ammunition from sitting there, of course then I will be compelled to buy reloading dies, a new rifle scope, magazines. Is the Betty Ford addiction clinic still in business, I need to call them.

LOL, buy the ammo and sell it later when there is a shortage.

I have SSA brass, have loaded it probably 4-5 times so far.

Heads up on cheap 6.8 ammo. Federal made 90 grain gold dot moving along at 2800 fps, made for jordanian and saudi forces. $12.99 a box and it shoots hair under a inch out of my 12.5" arp barrel ar-15.
