Each rifle i have, i keep about 200 rnds loaded, once i settle on a load for each rifle i don't change it, no sage rats or p. dogs here so i have almost no use for anything but .22 which i have way to much ammo for as i have no use for a .22 except when i am trapping. .223 it's cheaper to buy a few cases than reload it,and i find reloading .223 a pain in the butt.
