How much are you into loading? It’s nice to be able to buy quality inexpensive ammo off the shelf that will do all you need ( 500yds up to elk) if you haven’t cranked out another batch of rounds. At least in my world it is.


I don’t reload as much as I used to as work and family do their thing, but I still load for all of my hunting rifles. I tend to go in waves with loading. I develop my loads, make up a good batch of ammo, usually around 100 rounds, and do my thing. Some rifles, 100 rounds can last a while. Just depends on what rifles I’m hunting with that year. I’ve got enough rifles that I probably have around 1000 rounds of ammo ready to go at any time, in various cartridges for various rifles. I’m a gun slut. My grandfather who killed nearly everything with a model 12 and a Remington 700 243 looked at me funny growing up. It is what it is.
