    That won't really solve your problem either. I reload everything I shoot for the 300 BLK. Trying to find a steady supply of suitable bullets has been like chasing unicorns. To see what I mean just check the 4 largest reloading suppliers and see what they have in stock for 110 to 130 grain .308 bullets.

    Oops! wrong thread, I only shoot supers and the Hornady 150 FMJs can be had in 2100 rd bulk packs. Happy hunting.
    Remember, the Founding Fathers reason for the 2nd Amendment... to combat tyranny. Sadly, when people discuss the 2nd Amendment, the opponents erroneously think it was meant to stand alone... it HAS a preamble:

    "...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."

    Practice with 5.56 until your stash is large enough. Then get into reloading it. For goodness sake it uses everything but the damn barrel.

    Id love to have one but everything 300 comes with an insane premium in price, so no way for now

    I see no reason to get into this caliber unless you reload... I have plenty 223 brass, so I can trim, load, and shoot match ammo for ~$.40/rd, w/ plinking ammo ~$.25/rd. It's a no brainer IMO.

    Southwest ammunition has plenty, I use their sub 308 and they are fantastic.

    Same here. I have no time for reloading right now. And I always buy ammo in bulk, just in case. So it doesn't work for me yet.

    Can't see the reason to 300.
