[QUOTE="J-B welder, post: 2009292, member: 115997"] You sir, have just hit on the thought I arrived at earlier today and probably should have thought of before. There's no reason for me to reload premium bullets for practice rounds. I had figured since I knew those bullets shot accurately I could reload some of them cheaper than factory. But if I can find an inexpensive bullet that I can reload to shoot 1 MOA through my rifle for practice, so much the better. I'll have to re-zero for the factory ammo to hunt with, but that is of small consequence. Or I could re-load the premium bullets to hunt with and the cheap stuff for practice. You have also correctly deduced that I do not currently reload. I was thinking of the Lee Classic Loader option to get some accurate enough practice rounds. (If you lot want to go into the whole debate about whether or not a Lee Classic is worth it, go ahead, but I'm out if you do. I've read heaven knows how many threads on the subject.) I'm looking for maybe 150 rounds a year, not 1500 so going with a more expensive set up is probably not worth it for me. Heck, there might even be a cheap factory load that will shoot out of my barrel well enough to practice with. If that's the case I might go that route. Of course, making cheaper ammo would be a good way to rationalize buying some additional manly things. But who really needs a reason to justify that? [/QUOTE]
