If you want a gun for SHTF scenarios you should learn to reload and assume you won't find ammo.

HK has their own weird semi-piston rifle that's essentially the HK416

>Can't find ammo

>Reloading on a press

Lel what

The HK416 can go through the ringer, IV8888 did a torture test and they couldn't kill it

I reload, mainly because I shoot competition and have special loads

Nice

Yes, why would you assume you're gonna find ammo for your gun? If it's a SHTF scenario you should assume what you have is all you've got.

But yeah you can buy 416s

Plus for milsurp it's cheaper to reload than buy, especially for 8mm Mauser

What good is reloading benches if you can't find boolets, brass, or primers

You shouldn't plan to find food after a bad situation, you should already have it, likewise with ammo.

Hopefully you'll have those stockpiled

Well you can cast bullets, you have brass, and you just stock up on primers

Well yeah but if you're mobile you're not carrying much more than 300 rounds of anything

And drag around a giang press with you?

It'd be easier to find ammo as widely sold as it is

You don't need the giant Dillon or Hornady

It's foolish to plan to move unless you have a destination in mind.

hello there traveler, can I interest you in some water purification products?

If you're simply traveling with no end game, you've already lost at surviving.

Reloading is greay but in SHTF of very limited value

They make ones that are single stage and you just change out the bits on it, can't remember the company but it's what I use to reload my deer rifles

Unless the entire goal was escape btfo'd area

Even in your S.T.A.L.K.E.R scenario reloading would be an extremely valuable skill.

yep, reloading sounds good in meme world, but irl it wont last forever

Sure, but carrying around the equipment would be a shit idea

can't just craft ammo components from rocks and dead cats like in vidya

^

It won't eventually you'll run out of powder and primers

There's hand presses.

They weigh practically nothing

GOOOOOOOOOod

MOOOOOOOOOOOOORNING

Instead of having all the shit

ANTICOMMMMMM

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
