My intentions are to get set up to reload my own ammo in the near future.

That said, what ammo would you recommend as a good plinking/blasting ammo (18" 1:8 barrel) that have decent cases for reloading a more precise round later?

Wold Golf, ZQI, IMI, Federal.



Take your pick, all have good brass for reloading.




Cheers, and good luck!

I reload my wolf gold brass, and it can be had new for under $0.30 a round

I have not had problems with any brass - Federal, Winchester, ZQI, Privi
I prefer Federal or Winchester, but that's just me.

With 5.56 ammo, the primers are usually crimped, so there is an extra step to prepping the brass.

Just an FYI, in case you didn't know,
there is a Reloading Forum

Well, found 1000 Wolf for $314 shipped. I'm happy with that.

I'll probably burn most, if not all, of that up before I am set to start reloading.

Thanks for the heads up. I was aware, but appreciate it none-the-less.

And I've asked a few "dumb questions" over at the reloading forum as well.

Had not seen you over there,
So I was not sure.

It's a little hard to find.  

Another FYI,
Posting ammo deals in this forum is a no no,
Except in the tacked thread.

Well, I'll just go edit that out. Thanks again.
