I have to disagree with those looking to buy cheap ammo - like that junk from Russia: Bear, Wolf, ...

You get what you pay for.

I have seen several examples of what happens when junk ammo hangs in the barrel and the shooter un-kowingly takes a follow up shot.

Lacquer coated junk, misfires, hangfires, just not worth it.

You'll probably get away with it in a bolt action - just count your holes.

You don't have to practice on Hornaday - from one extreme to the other.

I am partial to shooting Remington's Ammo through Remington's guns.

I practice with Remington's stuff and then use Hornaday when it counts. I also like Fusion - still worried about contamination.

Have you determined what the gun likes? I think you should figure that out first and concentrate on quality shots rather than quantity.

The problem with a lot of American ammo is that they are under-powdered.

If you read up on reloading and care to take a round apart, you'll see that they are usually a few grains short. There's only a few that pack the powder to the standard. Just too many lawsuits.

have to agree with last poster. Im only getting into guns now myself but one of my best mates is very into them. You get what you pay for. Ill ask me bud tomorrow what he pays and get back to you.

I think the OP is new to shooting and he needs to get used to the rifle and to shooting, (assumption from his other posts, correct me if I'm wrong) therefore it would be a good idea (IMO) to get a few hundred round of something cheap like American Eagle and head to the range a couple of times and shoot 100 and 200 meters to acquaint himself with technique and the recoil. then when he is ready invest in quality ammo and pursue his quarry of choice.

I got 308 ammo for less than 20euro ( Remington) in Tralee, most of the 270 stuff seems to be about 30 euro

Ammo is way overpriced here. I paid 10 euro in Australia for good quality 270 ammo.
If reloading is allowed watch the prices for factory stuff tumble.:rolleyes:

"if" I would not bet on it.
Hence I use Hornady Factory ammo, best there is on the market forthe price, especially in .223

Well they are allowing limited reloading this year for target shooting, hopefully they will see that it is a safe and practical way to tailor ammo for all shooters.
