[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 457164, member: 15748"] Ranger260 I'd vote for the reloading, of course, but if you're just learning to do so, an AR isn't the platform to start with. Load for bolt guns first, and then move on to the gas guns. They're a form of advanced handloading, and need to be treated very differently than bolt guns where reloads are concerned. Get some experience with the less tempermental forms of reloading before venturing into this area. You're 1x8" will handle anything up to (and including) most 80s with no problems. I've used a fair amount of the Black Hills 77s, and have been pretty impressed with them. Federal and Hornady also turn out some pretty reasonable ammo in the heavier weights, and they'd also be worth a try. [/QUOTE]
