Thks guys, but this cowpoke will be shooting factory ammo for awhile. I may get into re-loading and will save up my brass. Seems to be lots of lead flat nose around in stores. For a country that don't like handguns there sure is a lot of six-gun bullets available...

Don't over look the reloading. I'm loading .44 mag. Montana gold Jsp for .35 cents a round. Quality ammo designed for a rifle,( not a revolver. )extremely accurate. My new Big boy Steel holds 10rds and I have never stopped shooting until it was empty. It doesn't take long to go through 50 of em.

Yes I may be singing a different tune after burning thru a few boxes of factory stuff.

RanchRoper, after you see how fun shooting that rifle is you will get into reloading.
Fine tuning a load just for your rifle is a lot of fun & when you see the groups tighten from your fine tuning you'll be hooked.
There is a common misconseption that you save money handloading, you don't. What you will do is spend the same amount of money, but you will shoot MORE for the same dollars spent!

I fully agree.
FACT: More shooting = more fun

RanchRoper if you get serious about shooting you will get into handloading. They compliment each other & once the basic reloading setup is bought to load another cartridge you usually only need components for it, dies, shell holder & that is about it. Once you are set up adding another cartridge isn't all that big a deal.
It can become addicting. Sometimes I load for the pure enjoyment of it. Of course it will add to your stockpile!
