Not trying to be cute or Mr. Obvious or anything but helpful......
I find the WikiArms app to be very helpful for ammo. If you haven’t test drove it you may find it helpful. |

What are you looking for exactly? 150gr FMJ what are you using to search with?
Edit: Try using ammoseek.com |

I usually hit surplusammo but they're out of everything but en blocs loaded with 8 rounds for $7.49 ea.
Here's the cheapest I can find currently: $0.70 per round |

Mine comes from my reloading bench! Anyone who wants to feed a garand affordable long term needs to be a reloader period. An m2ball equivalent load can be assembled for about 30 cents a round.

What would a basic set up cost to start reloading? I see kits for sale: midwayusa reloading kit but I'm more of a buy once, cry once kind of guy. I'd rather spend a little more to get something that will work for the long term. It's no different than when I started fly fishing many years ago. I bought a middle of the road 5wt that was supposed to be the "one rod to last forever" but now I have 12 rods that do things much better than the one. I'd prefer not too to buy a cheaper single stage only to determine that I should have saved up and bought a more expensive progressive press. ETA: the original quote |

Gets you into learning the art of reloading a bit faster than doing it all on a single stage press, like an RCBS Rock Chucker, ... although truthfully that's the s.s. press I started out on back when I was handloading for only one cartridge. |

The above comes from another "buy once, cry once" guy who learned on and runs a Dillon progressive. Even if you go progressive later on, that press will always serve a purpose on your bench. I have a turret press mounted next to my progressive. I reload 30-06 for under $0.50 per round. |

SGAmmo is out and just about every place I can think of is out of .30-06 for a Garand. Well there are places for $28 A box for FMJ but no thanks on that price https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1777318110/sellier-and-bellot-ammunition-30-06-springfield-m1-garand-150-grain-full-metal-jacket Consider it just more incentive to start reloading.

The 35 cents difference between $0.85/rd and my $0.50/rd may not sound like much but after just 1,000 rounds,...
it adds up to $350! |

Getting into reloading ( simple easy to use single stage press is very effective-no need to go progressive off the bat and actually advise against it personally) is pretty cheap. I bought all my stuff as used gear at gun shows and used and probably have under $100 into my press powder measure and scale and the ancillaries.

I use AmmoSeek application for my Samsung phone. It searches out the best current prices. I think they have a website too but I use my phone.
