Just wondering what everyone is shooting as far as range/target/plinking ammo through their rifles. I'm shooting american eagle 55gr stuff and was wondering if there's something else out there that I should be shooting.
Winchester
Federal American Eagle
Remington UMC
Prvi Partizan
Black Hills

What brass do you use? I was thinking about going to the local range and picking up brass. I already save all my 6.8 brass. I think next year I'm going to start reloading so I can do more shooting.

I pick up any 556/223 brass I find. Brass is your most expensive component. I have not found any that I really had to discard. Some I like better than others. But like I said. The way brass is right now. I pick it all up.
I can make my own for about $.17/rnd.
I roll my own.

all my shooting is xm193 and 75gr training TAP these days, but i'm probably gonna be snagging a few cases of Wolf now that it's everywhere again.
wasn't but 6 or 7 years ago you were paying too much if you bought Wolf .223 at $.10/rnd. xm193 was floating within a couple cents of $.20. man... i think back on those days, and wonder why i wasn't shooting 3,000 rounds a month.
was also back before i was married and had 3.5 kids.. had all the time in the world to do whatever the **** i wanted.

I have had good luck with S&B 55gr FMJ.
I voted other or what ever comes out the right side of the Dillon RL550B.

Make my own - 55gr and 62gr LC FMJ lately.
