Anywhere you guys know got some? Prefer remington or hornady as Ill be saving the brass to reload. I dont reload now but im going to try to start once I run out of factory (no labor involved) ammo.
 
Probably cheaper to buy your reloading stuff and start now. Buy some new brass or go on the EE and ask for someone to sell some once fired. Reloading is not labor it is a hobby.
 
As has already been mentioned, just start reloading now. You will have better ammo at a far lower cost. .204 Ruger is a realitivly new cartridge and is not military related. That means large sources of cheap ammo are nil.

Do a cost comparision.

Wholesale sells Hornady .204 v-max for $20.99/20.

To reload with the same bullet you would be looking at 42 cents a round, or $8.52 for a box of 20. This is assuming you fire your brass 7 times. All prices are from WSS website.

After loading 800 rounds you will have broke even if you bought a $500 reloading setup.

When you have a newborn, work 80 hours a week, and have a ton of obligations everything is labor. If i can sneak out to hunt 3 hours once a week I'm happy to have a box of factory ammo...

I can't wait for this kid to sleep through the night and momma to go back to work...

If that's the case by all means don't reload. When you indicated wanting to find bulk ammo we assumed you were shooting the volume that would require you to reload.

You have to choose which is more important, time or money. If you don't have the time you will be stuck buying $$$$ factory.

Congrats on the newborn!
 
Thanks man, I'd like to burn 50+ rounds per weekend working on my shooting but at 29.99 for factory loads that's 75$ a weekend. I don't have that kinda scratch lol. When things settle down at home better maybe I'll buy reloading tools and just use my once fired brass that I'm saving.
