I like beer. I've been drinking beer regularly for the past 50 years. Always have beer at the house.

One major company offers a popular brand in 30-packs of 12-oz. cans for about $18.00. Not bad at all. Another company offers a popular brand in 12-packs of 12-oz. cans for about $12.00. One that I really enjoy comes in 6-packs of 12-oz. bottles for about $10.00.

I enjoy them all. I don't expect the least expensive to be quite as delicious as the most expensive.

Same principle applies to store-bought ammo. Figure out what is available, decide which you want to have and what you are willing to pay for.

Cleaning your gun? Have to do that after every use anyway, whether we are working on the bench with solvents and brushes or scrubbing away in the shower with soap and water.
