[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1099108, member: 35183"] You are going to have to learn to reload. Otherwise none of your ammo will be optimal for any rifle that you own and every time you go shopping you may leave the store with something different based on what is available. That is not a good place to be. A Hornady Lock n Load press is quite inexpensive and a set of dies may run $80 unless you get super high end bushing dies. You need some brass, and I recommend you get some Lapua brass at $1/shell. It will be worth it and will last a very long time. The worst thing is to have 20 pieces each of several different brands of brass with different internal capacity. That way, once you develop a load you will have a hard time making up a batch of loaded ammo since the load will have to be adjusted for each brand of casing. Again, a bad and frustrating place to be. Then you need to get some bullets that may work in your rifle. The 95gr SST is available from Hornady. You might try the 95gr Sierra Match King. Then you will need some powder and fortunately that picture has been getting better, since it was awful. Hodgdon 4831 or Hybrid 100V are options that are currently available. Primers are generally available now, I use CCI 200 large rifle primers. [/QUOTE]
