So I'm moving onto my next set of dies and project. I've pretty much shot up all of my 5.56 Federal surplus ammo. Looks to be Lake City brass.
Now, the question is a two part question.
1. What is the cheapest powder and the cheapest bullet (bullet grain doesn't matter) to use in 5.56. I want to stock pile 5.56. Probably will sit for a little while and not get shot unless my finger gets itchy. Again this is for Zombies and plinking.
2. What is considered the best accurate bullet and powder combo? Just in case I was to shoot 5.56 accurately?
RIght now I'm using IMR 4064 for my .308. I can see from my book that there are a few grain bullets that have load data for the 4064. If I continue to use 4064 it looks like I can get about 300 rounds from a single pound of 4064.
Anyone got any insigts?
Thanks,
