Like you, my dad reloads for me. He really enjoys reloading, so I buy him powder, bullets, etc. for my reloads and his. I would reload but I spend so much time traveling. One time I came back from a trip and all my supplies to make 300Blk rounds were gone. I asked what happened to my supplies because I was planning on loading them myself. He went to his garage and came back with 500 rounds of loaded 300Blk. He said he had gotten bored while I was away.

VBAM, what are you shooting in 300blk before you reload. I've been using hornady hv for hunting and some targets, even tried some of Leigh Defense special rounds to see if they did what is claimed. (They do). But I have no where near even 300 rounds so wondering what you like best.

Now I'm hearing by the end of May I should hear about it.

Quick question: is it worth getting a .22 AR-15? again this would just be for the range and .22 is so much ******* cheaper to shoot.

The handgun will be range use and home defense.

Only worth it if you have rock-and-roll mode. YMMV

For plinking, FMJs can be found pretty cheap.

If these are your first guns, and you are thinking 22 for plinking and learning... just get a simple reliable 22 semi auto rifle .. non ar style.

Look for sales on Ruger , Marlin, Savage your pick.. when you are ready for 223, or 556 then buy it and you still have a 22 in the closet for fun too.

I suggest .. look up Appleseed project if you do not have a lot of range time.. took my boys to these great training.

Hard to go wrong with a Ruger 10/22.

The only factory ammo I shot before going to reloads was the Barnes VOR-TX (110 grain). I got into 300Blk really early in the game and it was the only available ammo at the time. Very good round, reliable and accurate. Still have a few boxes of that ammo laying around.

Really haven't shot much 300Blk. Still working on those 500 rounds and they were made about 4 years ago. Since getting my Tavors I don't like AR-15s any more. I'm really into bullpups now (keep trying to justify buying a SRS-A1 lol). I probable will get back into 300Blk when I get a Tavor SAR or X-95 in 300Blk. Most likely would get a X-95 in 300Blk and SBR it. IWI is now selling the factory short sight rail, short hand guard and thin butt pad that go on the select fire X-95 so people can SBR X-95s. A X-95 SBR in 300Blk would be epic.

What they said.

You can get an AR-15 style stock later on for pretty much any 22lr rifle out there, Ruger 10/22 being the easiest. Considering you live in NJ a 10/22 or similar rifle would be a good way to go. I would think it would be easier to get a 10/22 than an AR-15 style 22 in NJ.

Once you move to a free state then get an AR-15

I have shot about 60 rounds of the Barnes as well about as accurate as round as I have seen. Had a chance to fire a Tabor bullpup once , it was different . Not bad but different ergonomics for some used to target rifles.

Agreed 200% they just shoot and you can upgrade any way you want

I have 2 10/22s with just some minor upgrades and then a tactical solutions xring version.
I love putting holes inside holes.
