Thanks for the links, I decided I'm just going to start reloading it. I have 400 rounds of top quality ammo I'm saving the brass from.

Also took a better pic of the gun, had to get me a rubber pad, after 60 rounds I was pretty sore. Got to shoot it last sunday, I was able to get just under 1/2" groups at 100 yards with remington match ammo.

308 Ammo?

Does anyone know a good place to get cheap 308 ammo by the 500-1000 packs? I've searched around online and wasn't able to find much, most everyone is sold out. The next cheapest place was T's in Texas City, but they wanted $110 per 200 rounds. I'm looking for prices in the area of $300-400 per thousand or less.

On tuesday I'm going to be buying a DPMS Panther LR-308AP4. I don't plan to shoot it a whole lot, but I don't want to pay 50 cents per round just to shoot it.

Another option would be for me to start reloading it, but I wouldn't have any idea where to begin or if I could even save money off practice ammo. No idea what types of powders to use or where I can even get decently priced bullets/brass. I load mainly pistol rounds but my press has the ability to load rifle rounds, Dillon 550B.


Any sources for cheap ammo, 308 reloading knowledge, or any comments on this rifle would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
