Anytime i build a new gun i usually end up running atleast 50rds of about 8-10 types of personal defense ammo through it to narrow down the top 3 for final testing. Of those 3 i usually shoot an additional 100-150 rds of each out of the gun. IT GETS CRAZY EXPENSIVE but i atleast know that when i draw and shoot i know where the poa/poi is, felt recoil, penetration, and that its the best possible round on the shelf for my needs.

Target ammo usually ends up being whatever the cheapest lead slingin bullet i can find is! Which will hopefully be some reloads soon.

That is what I would absolutely love to do! My main problem now is actually acquiring any HP's! No one has any home defense ammo, in part I'm sure because of Obama, which is another story for another time. Nonetheless, I've found site's I can order ammo from, but most are backordered, taking roughly 3 - 4 weeks to arrive. There is a gun show coming to Rome this weekend, which I will be attending bright and early Saturday morning to scour the vendors for ammo, or even possibly a reloader. Anyone make their own rounds here? What is the general cost of purchasing start up materials? Reps will be given to EVERYONE as soon as I am able. Thanks for all of the input guys! It is GREATLY appreciated.
