I was contemplating a case or two of the Federal Match Ammo on sale at Midway but I've been swayed by the knowledgeable folks here to look into reloading supplies instead. It may net me less ammo initially but I'll be set up for more cost effective and custom loaded ammo from here on.
My budget is 450.00, I can fudge a bit more for shipping costs and the like but I can't go much more than 50-75 over that. I've compiled the list below based on price and ratings at Midway. Have a look, feel free to suggest different stuff or shoot down anything I've listed. I have no knowledge of this, but I'm a quick learner and am interested in getting started.
Here's the list thus far, lands right about 500 even after hazmat and shipping fees...
-Hodgdon Varget Smokeless Powder 1 lb

$23.49 x2 = $46.98

Any and all suggestions welcome. I have some brass saved up, about a case worth (200 pieces) of Federal brass from a case of FGMM and I'm working my way through a case of Southwest Ammo 175s. Some of that brass is a bit dinged up right out of the box before firing though and I don't know the history of how many reloads its already been through.
Thanks in advance!
