Thread: Is loading your own hunting ammo worth it?

    I want to be able to practice with my rifle, so the long term solution for me is hand loads. When I got my new 6.5PRC, I bought 100 rounds of Berger 156 EOL factory ammo that comes with Lapua brass. At $3/round it’s expensive. But the quality brass offsets most of that.
    I don't speak Woke. Can you say that in English?

    I hunt with several different cartridges, the primary one being .308. I haven’t purchased .308 factory ammo in thirty years. I mainly load 168gr SMK and then add some 165gr Nosler Accubonds over the same powder charge and both fly out to 600 yards with essentially the same point of impact. Then I usually shoot deer at less than 70 yards.

    Reloading just makes me feel a bit more independent.
