[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1045656, member: 2011"] Correctly head stamped brass, IIRC, from the builder was $4.00 each. Either that or $2.00??? I haven't done an accurate cost analysis yet but I treat them like its closer to $5.00 a shot. Especially if loaded warm and get less than 4 shots per case. Which I don't do any more..... Unless you go with special bullet offerings which are iffy in some rifles, a fella is stuck with SMKs which aren't plentiful and have a halfway decent bc but don't seem to expand consistently. I've made a modification to them which gives ~42" less drop than the unmodified SMKs at 1860 yards or so. With a bc well over 0.800 the 375 CT Imp. begins to stretch its neck over lesser cartridges. Also the CT based rifles will come out a bit heavy. I sweat blood and made a ton of chips and dust getting mine down from 19 pounds to only enough below the Idaho 16# limit for the certified digital scale first two digits to read one five. 15.94 pounds to be precise.:) [/QUOTE]
