Well I never bought factory ammo except to get brass to reload since 1960. I reload 223/5.56x45, 6mmPPC, 270Win, 264Win, 458Win, and 45apc for the pistol. I only buy 22 rimfire any more.
38spl, 357mag, 40s&W, 45ACP, 380ACP, 44mag, 223AI, 243AI, 308win, 284win, 300-221, 222rem, 30-30win.....adding many soon: 6.5WSM, 260rem, 260AI, 25WSSM....
The only factory ammo I shoot is rimfire. Hell I cast bullets for almost all my handguns.
If you go for the 25-06 make it an ackley improved it is the next fastest under the 257 weatherby with 87 grain bullets only by 60 fps and 10 grains less of powder. With a 85 grain Nosler partition will kill any deer you want.Right now I load for the following:
.22-.250 Rem
.220 Swift
.243 Win
.308 Win
.300 Win Mag
Hopefully soon for a .204 Ruger and .25-06 Rem which are on my wish list.
And for some odd reason I have never decided to reload for my .45 ACP or S&W .40. I guess I don't shoot them very often enough to do much reloading.
