Hello guys & gals.
So I'm getting into reloading. I've bought a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme reloading kit. & as I'm looking to the components to use (bullets, brass, powders, primers, etc..) my head is spinning.
I even do a lot of research online; but I essentially just don't where to begin/what to research; so I just thought I'd ask here.
So, what I'm looking to accomplish is building a stockpile thru reloading that holds ammo that can serve these purposes:
1) Cheap target practice ammo.
Doesn't need to be "sniper- accurate;" but I would like it to be a little better than the average bulk stuff online.
& 2) SD/hunting ammo.
If SD & hunting ammo should be 2 different categories due to different requirements; then I'll divide things up between 3 bullet types/brands; but it seems to me that what you would want in a SD round would be the same as hunting, right? Accuracy, penetration, expansion?
But I don't like the idea of investing in many different bullet types/brands, you know? I'd like to keep it to a minimum. It seems the top 2 are Hornady & Nosler? I'd like to meet my criteria with a brand of bullet that I could find anywhere.
I've got a Palmetto State Armory 16" Mid-length, 1x7twist, nitride-barreled AR.
Thank you all in advance for your responses,
Bull.
