I can count on 1 hand how many times I've shot "store bought ammo" in the last 20 yrs for .223-never, 30-06-2x's, 9mm 2x's. Now I do buy my carry ammo for the 9mm but I dont shoot it up regularly, it gets carried for a while then replaced.
The .223 I've had for about 5yrs. bought it to go prairie dog shooting, worked up a load for it and thats all I shoot, actually I have 2 loads for it 55g fmj and 60g v-max.
The 30-06 is for a M1 Garand. I've bought a couple of ammo cans of surplus to get the brass, now I just buy the brass if I find a good deal, surplus bullets are you friend.(cheap plinking)
9mm- Ive casted bullets for this the last 3yrs, I think I've bought plated bullets once in that 3 yrs. the wheel waights I use were left at the house I bought by the priviouse owner( about 1 1/2 55 gal drums worth)
