Wouldn't be the greedy old kiwi coming to the fore again... would it?

Fed blue box 6 5 swede $93 at reloaders last week - the guy looked sheepishly guilty selling it to me at that price....

And my mates laughed hard when I was forced to buy a large safe just for the ammo.

Seems I made a wise choice with the 25-303 then. Still costs nothing to shoot, provided the WW11 cases hold up, it still dribbles a 6.5 mm 100gr bullet out at 2650fps behind 35gr of AR2208.

Back to the good ole days when a box of 20 hunting ammo lasted 20 yrs

You need to get out hunting more

These prices make my .308 target shooting reloads affordable.

$0.20 Barrel replacement (5000 rounds per barrel)
$0.40 Powder (approx 3 grammes per reload)
$0.15 Case replacement (minimum 11 firings per case)
$0.10 Primer
================
$0.85 SUBTOTAL
================

Projectiles from $0.00/ea (sponsored) to $1.00/ea (imported direct)

So reloads $0.85 to $1.85 / ea.

Looking at that page, My 6.5x55 really liked both the Sellior and Bellot and the Partisan....Quite happy abut that now. (Mind you, being a Husqvarna, it liked whatever I fed it cheap or expensive....)

As someone who purchases the ammo for a store, I can tell you prices are going up all the time, federal 6.5x55 is expensive bought the last norma Alaska cheaper, more than norma, most of the common calibres are $59.99 at the moment, but the next delivery of Remington is going to push-up the price, who knows what the other manufacturers are going to charge.

GC used to have 5 box deals which worked out cheaper, now I see that they have a '5 box deal' which is just price of one box times 5. No need for them to discount it would seem. People will pay if they need it.

How do you double the value of a sporterised Swedish Mauser?
