Please stop discussing wars and what the government is doing. I don't want to close this thread but I am close.

Not with a revolver. With revolvers you need to shoot as many as it takes to find the POI compared to the POA. You need to know the ammo won't stick in the charge holes or bind the cylinder. Other than that, 2500 or 250 or even more than 50 rounds don't need to be shot. Most times a box of 20...

Winchester is a SAAMI compliant company so any ammo they sell.will not hurt any gun that is in good operating condition. No Winchester ammo I know of have been known to be extremely hot like some of the boutique ammo companies produce.

There is a similar thread half way down the page. We really don't need another since they all turn bad. Lets please keep this one civil or I will have to shut it down.

I stocked up before that one hit. I learned the lessons from the shortages that came before it. BUT, I can't say I thought there was going to be another shortage. I was being cheap. When I saw prices edging up I bought when I found good prices back when you could still get good deals at gun...

I agree, it KS normal even though it's annoying.

Yes, the prices I quoted are for 1,000 rounds. Now that I think of it, it was in 2009 and not only 8/9 years ago like I was originally thinking. (but still lol)

I'm lucky enough to still have over 7,000 LRP and 1,000 LRM primers too. I needed so many for loading M1 30-06 ammo. (3K are CCI#34) Granted, I didn't do much loading during Covid mostly because I was ill with other than Covid problems over the past 3 years. I'm back to loading and shooting now...

The 145gr Winchester Silvertip ammo is probably my favorite .357 Magnum ammo. For me it's been extremely accurate.

I've never had a problem with MagTech ammo but I haven't shot factory 9mm ammo in a long while. When I did shoot it, it was fine.

The last case of 9mm ammo I bought was from Dick's Sporting Goods and cost me $99. The .38 Special I bought was $108 and the 45 Auto was $112. That was the last sale on Remington or Winchester ammo they ever did that cheap. Then it was off to the races. I wax reloading at the time but at those...

If we're talking about good powder measures look at the Lyman #55. It's an excellent measure.

I know when you need primers you need primers but IMO shooting 22LR ammo while waiting might hold you over. OR, you can always go fishing, I did lol...

I think a 140gr bullet might be a better choice. Fiocchi sells a 142gr magnum range ammo in boxes of 50.

Speaking about Eley, their Tenex 50 round boxes were under $20 not long ago. Today you can't find them for under $26+. All the other Eley flavors are up ~20% or more too. (their least expensive Club ammo is now $10/box!!!)

I'm a huge fan of the Winchester 145gr Silvertip .357 Magnum ammo. It is extremely accurate from my M640 and is the only ammo I will carry in that revolver. Last time I bought it was when Win did a run and bought 2 boxes @$50 each for 50 rounds. I can't guess how much it is now. I have about 6...

I reloaders in my basement on an old desk. It is a very heavy desk probably made in the 50s or so. I don't have a reloading room either but it works well.enough for me.

There ya go, you might find what you're looking for or at least you have a starting point. Good luck...

At times I use only my own ammo. Sometimes I load ammo which h replicas carry ammo and practice with/carry it. The replies a ammo I load not only duplicates the felt recoil but the feel of the recoil too. If you don't reload my suggestion would be to practice with similar range ammo to you...

I use a lot of H335 from my AR style .223/5.56mm rifles. I've gotten good results with Varget for my bolt action .223. If it's not available maybe give CFE223 a try or Ramshot TAC. I have a bullet suggestion for your bolt action .223. The Sierra 55gr HPBT bullet #1390. I can't find a powder...
