What are the most common to obtain Big Bore Calibers in your neck of the woods?458,416,470?Is ammo hard to get off the shelf and how much does a box cost?Iam getting into these big rounds and finding out factory loads are way costly.WHY?How much will I save by reloading?Half the cost?The416 rigby here in the usa is about 125.00 for 20 rounds.416 remington about 90.00 and the 458 federal premiums about 50.00-70.00 depending on the loading.I feel i can reload cheaper than that right?Do all you guys reload?Here where I live no one stocks big bore ammo,its all special order only.Do you guys have a hard time also finding off the shelf Rounds?Should I get at least 200 same brand cases to have on stock and maybe load all the samepowder lot when i find the load i want and seal in plastic cases?More?How many rounds a year do you shoot in your big boomers practing/plinking/hunting once its sighting in good?What would be a good number to fire to get familier with a new DGR rifle?100 at least?More?Iam open for suggestions...and guidiance
will the nickle brass last longer,be better,than regular yellow brass?Any favorite brand of dies?Should I try for my most accurate load at 50yards or start out at 25yards with the iron sights?Then move to 50 then 100?Or start at 50?What should I expect for a good group at these ranges?11/2in.?2in.?Bolt action rifle.Model 70 winchester Express.Do you guys also shoot cast lead bullets?
