[QUOTE="Muttt, post: 665738, member: 41202"] Well, If you plan on long range hunting, then you may want to rethink getting the caliber with the cheapest ammo available. The Privi is probably not going to give you decent accuracy. If you plan on hunting long range, then you need to look to the bullets with the better/best accuracy. Being able to shoot the cheapest bullits doesn't always equate to long range accruracy. Long range hunting is pointless if your ammo isn't accurate enough for you to hit your game. And, more importantly, killing your game humainly. As for the AR15 platform, I would personally go with Grendel. It shoots so flat. And, it has excellent long range accuracy. Even the cheapest Grendel ammo (Wolf MPT) doesn't shoot half bad. And, Grendel ammo has a very high BC. But, you would get much much better results by moving up to the AR10 platform. Many more long range options are available in the AR10 platform which deliver much more energy down range. If you only shoot factory ammo, you may want to consider reloading. Then, the cost of ammo won't really be a consideration in your decision making. Your better off going with the caliber that gives you the better accuracy and performance over which one has the cheapest ammo. You can make even the most expensive ammo yourself, for much cheaper than you will ever buy it from the factory. And, the accuracy is usually better with hand loads. You can get a decent RCBS starter kit for 300-350 dollars. In the first year, the reloading equipment will pay for itself. It's really easy to do. I regret not reloading my own ammo 25 years ago. Hope that helps you in your decision. [/QUOTE]
