Hey guys, wanting to get my billet 6.8 build finished up pretty soon. I had planned on buying up on the 90gr gold dot federal ammo, but that dried up before I could get it ordered. Then SSA got bought out and screwed that source up. So I know SSA brass was the best. Federal was probably second best, hornady somewhere in there I heard it was possibly soft a couple years ago. So now I'm looking to buy at least a couple hundred rounds of 6.8 ammo for rifle break in but mostly to keep brass. I don't want FMJ since in 200rds it may get used hunting, so a soft point or hollowpoint is preferred. Currently the most cost effective option I see is hornady with 110gr BTHP or 110 Vmax for around 72 cents a round. But is the brass worth it, or should I just buy Federal FMJ rounds 66 cents a round?
Also for you 6.8 guys, seems to be a lot of back and forth and coming soon on mags.... What's the best on the market right now for hand loads and best all around?
Thanks guys, appreciate any help.
