Want to put ceiling and insulation in garage?

Hello,I just finished putting insulation and walls in my unfinished, unattached garageNow to help keep the heat in and make it look better, I want to put a ceiling and some R19 upMy question is, what building material would be best for the ceiling and also, can I even do this because its made of 2x6's running a 15' span at 48quot; on centerI know I would have to add wood to keep anything I put up from sagging, but will the construction be strong enough to hold all of that up and some storage also?Thanks in advance!

Answer:

I purchase Winchester .45 ACP at walmart for 27 bucks for 100 rounds They also have CCI Blazers for $13 something for 50 rounds there Prices there have not changed much in the last year but they will never have a sale on them unless they are getting rid of a product.
Cheapest Reliable source i have been able to find is Walmart Generally about $25 - $30.00 per hundred roundsabout 250 - 300 per thousand for Winchester White Box (WWB) Occasionally, I can pick up some American Eagle from a Show a few times a yearabout 260 Per thousand rounds I save the brass and have someone re-load them for menot all ranges allow for re-loads (which is why some fo the posts here say to reload, and check with the range)My range allows for re-loads, lead or otherwiseSome can also re-load with a full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and slide in under the re-load policyif you save the original boxes WWB has exccellent brass for reloading
Personally, I load my ownWhile it is cheaper per bullet, the price doesn't take into account the cost of my timeI don't much care, because I enjoy it, but you might feel differentlyThe cheapest commercially, commonly available ammo that I've found is CCI BlazerYou mention that your range doesn't allow it, and that may be because the cases for the cheapest Blazer ammo are not brassHowever, CCI also makes a cartridge with a brass case called, appropriately, Blazer BrassIt's a brass case with a jacketed lead bullet, so I can't think of any reason that a range would prohibit its use, except that they make money when you have to buy your ammo from themBlazer Brass is available from Wal-Mart for about $11 or $12 per box of 50.
.2x6's running a 15' span at 48 on centerThat's not going to support you safely, let alone any 'storage'Best put your insulating bats in the roof rafters and use the 2x6's as racks for some lumber etc., (not too much).
