[QUOTE="jasonR, post: 813294, member: 27154"] I believe you have received good advice on what is good for hunting elk. As far as reloading is concerned, it is worth it to learn. But now is the WORST possible time for someone to start. Some components are really hard to find for those that have experience looking and knowing what to buy on short notice. I can't imagine the frustration someone would have in trying to start reloading now. Maybe some of you guys have access to special Cabela's catalogues, but there wasn't much in the way of 'common' 308 when I just looked, where as for much of the 'elk' calibres there was aplenty. The OP's original premise was right. If you go the route of buying another rifle, choose your ammo carefully and buy a lot, even if the cost hurts. Factor this into your budget before buying a rifle. You will want a single make of brass if and when you start reloading. Also, during these uncertain times of ammo purchases, you might never be able to find the same ammo again after you used up your stores practicing. That would suck. All that dope you collected would be for not. Good luck on whatever you decide and enjoy your hunt. [/QUOTE]
