I am hoping the pistol powder follows suit soon. I enjoy shooting my new Savage, but I like shooting my handguns as well, so does my daughter. The good news is that a pound or two will last me quite a while in the calibers I shoot.

As to brass, one of the reasons I got my Savage in .223 was that I noticed that there was always 5.56 brass on the floor at the range. It's the 9mm of the rifle world. I don't see any problem staying in brass for this rifle. After a few months, I have several hundred cases, and it keeps growing every time I go to the range.
