buying 556 for brass...
« on: December 17, 2014, 01:16:35 PM »
So... is there a particular brand of reasonably priced 556 that seems to be better than another for a brass source? I really dont care about the initial load, will probably buy 500 or 1000 and imagine I'll burn that stuff up fairly quickly... well.. and load a bunch of mags and throw them in the safe.

I just ordered 10 boxes of the Hornady Amax for my 6.5 Gren... Life is good...  :IBCOOL:

After searching high and low... I am seeing 28-31 cents a round for reloadable brass FMJs...

Does it get any better?? Im not too concerned with bullet performance, just want to empty them and reload!
