I too use mostly Remington ammo. I don't shoot as much as I would like but always had good luck using Rem ammo. whats the least expensive for just shooting, maybe Wolf??? Really don't know.

i don't buy cheap ammo because it doesn't shoot as well as hornady. the only remington ammo i buy is for the 338rum and 125 a box of 20 ain't cheap

1 time I ordered ammo from a speciality shop in California because it was for a 30 cal remington and couldn't find any locally. About 20% of the bullets would literally fall out of the cases!

I was looking at walmart the other week and they had Federal centerfire ammo in red boxes for real cheap. 30-06, .243 and .270 were all $13 a box...30-30 was $12 and 7mm rem mag was about $17.

That's a good price. I need a vault or something to store ammo in. Right now I have an overflowing ww2 wooden big shell box, probably not a good system. Before the vault I stored everything in the bottom of the gun cabinet.

some of the wolf ammo has a laquer finish,i wont shoot this in my 223"s very corrosive and filthy not worth the savings.another midrange ammo that shoots well for me is the federal fusions.had good luck with them in 300wsm 165grns

a lot of cheap ammo is really dirty. that cheap remington 22 stuff can really fowl a semi 22. and 1 out 10 won't have enough to cycle the action. yet another reason to try and stay away from cheap ammo
