220gr 300 BLK Bullet Alternatives
Bear with what may be stupid questions. I'm just taking up reloading at 67 and the CPU
in the old noodle doesn't process all that fast. I have the tools recommended by my mentor - a 60 year experienced neighbor. But he doesn't load for ARs much less sub-sonic.
So I would like opinions on what cheaper range bullets to bulk load for my 9" AAC suppressed. Preferably 220gr.*The Hornady 220 RN Pro-Hunter is the cheapest with decent AR feeding reviews I've found @ ~.28-.35/rd. about 40% less than Sierra HPBTs. I bought a couple boxes of Hornady 208 AMAX and may consider that as my main weight if a range alternative is significantly cheaper than the RN 220.
Also the only recommended powder in stock at my local Gunstop was Accurate 5744. What other powders should I keep an eye out for (besides dirty 1680)? *RE-7 and 4198 are the other two so far on my list.*
I paid zero attention to reloading for years because I thought you could only re-use a fired case once and the savings did not seem worth the effort. Uff Da, the cost of assumptions.
P.S. I have no idea why asterisks keep popping up.“ When I comes to modern politics, I think the inverse of Hanlon's Razor applies...In other words, "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice." - Kerplode
