    I've got a 308, and a box of ammo that is rapidly catching up to the rifle in value...

    Don'tcha just love the feeling of having stocked up 5 years ago with a lifetimes supply, and then this happens

    Can't afford to change calibres, but thats a small price to pay.

    You can get 300 win mag blue box for cheaper than that 6.5x55 box.... both from guncity.

    They are really picking on 6.5mm

    I'd suggest turning to .22lr for all plinking needs, but even that is sneaking up in price at an uncomfortable rate. CCI standard used to be $60-65 per 500, now $90-110, IF you can find it

    There’s totally a reason why my little 25gr of powder burning rifle is the only one getting used at the moment. Makes a kg of powder last a while….
