SKS or AK47

If you are going to shoot much...time to start reloading. And if you are going to reload, only buy brass ammo. You can't reload the steel cases. And yes, I tried. It's not a good outcome.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention reloading

I wonder what the cost would be
I guess I would need powder, primers, a tumbler (to clean the casing) actual tips, and the press
if I were to guess at that, and look at the cost per round, and take into consideration id have to buy the first set with brass casings...I would guess it would be a TON of rounds, before the cost per round made up for the initial investment
