I'm fresh out of .224 bullets. I just processed a lot of brass, but without any bullets that doesn't do me much good. I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I could buy some here in south jersey.

 

Also, I'm never sure what weight I should go with. typically I load varget with CCI small rifle primers and a 55gr projectile, but with a 1:9 20'' barrel, I'm not sure whether I should go with a higher mass or not. The load data recommends a 55gr, so I don't really want to deviate, but I've also read 55gr is too light to really be practical for much.

 

That aside, I don't really like long drives if I can avoid it, so I'm not sure what places in South Jersey sell  components.

If its not on the website call him.

 

Verry fast shipping and hes in NJ...

55gr is fine.  Go to 62gr if you want, but I don't see the need. 9 twist and 55gr are perfect together. Nereloading will have it to you in two days. Hornady 1,000 55FMJ delivered to your door $117.70, not bad. I like 25.0gr W748 over 55fmj for range plinking. YMMV.

Kaiser, I don't know where you got the idea the 55 gr bullet isn't good for much. There are plenty of soldiers and Marines alive because the 55 gr bullet worked well.

 

Heavier bullets are better for long range shooting but the 55 gr will do nicely to 300 yds and farther.

They are out of pistol powder and have been for some time.  I stopped there last week and they have no idea when they might get more.

That's fine, I don't load pistol ammo. I've been to Miller's before, they were ok, I was just hoping there would be a closer place.

 

I heard Bob's Little stocks some components, so I may see if they have .224 bullets. I only want to pick up a few hundred since I don't know what my work situation is. Sort of a double-edged sword where I can't spend a lot of money because I'm not sure when I'll have consistent work again, but I also have a lot more time on my hands and need something to do.

Last time I was in gun rack they had a lot of bullets
