Why not just have a shitload of ammo in the first place

I see no reason to waste pack space on shit for reloading

why not have a shitload of ammo and a piston rifle to shoot a shitload of shit ammo

@James_Coney - LA <@258653473237630987> i have a shitload of free time on my hands today, so propaganda orders are very very welcome

we're talking that sweet steel case 223

Primers and powder can be cheaper than buying ammo

Because a regular not shit DI AR can shoot shit ammo.

Mmmyes that tulammo

^ all I use in my SKS

Amen

What is optimum gas length for a DI that can shoot wolf 223

Mid

and you're vastly overestimating the weight of a press and compenents.

No, just the space

Once again though, the ideal situation is to already have a destination, like a cabin or something, which could have a full press.

That's fine, yesx

You know

It would probably also help with the boredom

But that plan isn't feasible for everyone

I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that planning on finding ammo in a SHTF situation is overly optimistic.

and less than ideal

I agree with you

SHTF is already less than ideal

Shit

Has hit the fan

Be prepared for super suck

So why make it even worse by not having enough ammo to last or relying on pure luck of finding the ammo?

@Whitecheese is probaboly noguns. Everyone /k/ommando knows that you reload IN the gun. You set the gun down, barrel up. Put the primer directly above the firing pin. You then put the casing on top of it. Then you pour the powder in till its almost full. Then you seat the bullet. Then you release the bolt. Tadaaa, its done.

you should have enough ammo stockpiles to last

~300 rounds of ammuniiton for you rifle is USMil load

KEK

>300 rounds

I'd say ~4 mags of sidearm

10-12 magazines

Even if you shot only once a day, you'd run out of ammo 65 days before the year ended

you forgot you have to add the clip m8

cant use a gun without all the clipazines

i have a lot of 556 but no AR

So don't shoot once a day

just in case a happening, i have green tips to sell
