I've been away from the thread for awhile, so I apologize if this is redundant. A couple ammo questions:
1. For those of you with the .223 / 5.56 setup, do you exclusively stay with one caliber?
2. How different is your range ammo vs. hunting / defense? My local range only wants hollow points at 100+ yds, so that would add up quickly. I don't know a lot about ballistics metrics, etc., so I'm trying to keep it simple.
3. Are there brands / specs to avoid entirely, and once I pick one, should I stay with it exclusively (related to question 2 with ballistics)?
4. Where do you find the best deals on bulk ammo, and what should I expect to pay per round? I know MidwayUSA and PSA, but am I missing a good spot?
My shooting needs are basically going to the range every now and then, hopefully some hog hunting , and home defense.
