Jets are fun, but the huge hang up is the availability of ammo. Almost all of us reload, and the few who don't pay someone to do it for them. Shooting factory ammo is just too expensive.

I find it regularly at gun shows near me. If you don't have access to that kind of venue, you're out of luck.

Over the years I've accumulated a pretty impressive stockpile of the ammo. The trick is to always be looking and then be quick with your money. I prefer the .222 Hornady bullets, but they're not easy to find either.

A misconception from a poster above. Yes, you will be lubing your cases before resizing them. But then you'll need to wipe them down to remove all the lube before loading and shooting. If you don't, you'll experience case setback, which can easily lock up the gun. Trust me. I don't shoot full power/factory duplication loads. I load them down just a bit. Just as loud, just as accurate, but less wear on the hard to find brass.
