[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2193304, member: 103947"] Cheap is a pretty relative term. Like LR. Too some, 800 yards is long while others, 1500 fills that bill. ELR is much pricier than LR shooting if we define the rifles used rather than the range there used at. I can shoot much more for much less using a 300WM or 300 PRC rather than shooting a 375 Cheytac. Both can make ELR ranges but one will definitely break the bank for many. My 338 LM Imp over all is affordable to shoot after the initial brass purchase. Powder, primers and bullets aren't too bad overall. Then there's the "How much do you shoot" question ? Personally I only get out to shoot in cooler weather and only a couple times a week max during those times. If I shoot 100 rounds(ELR) in two range sessions, that's alot. Affordability is something that's manageable for sure. Most people have a budget for shooting. If I only shot ELR, I'd shoot alot more of just that. I actually shoot several other cartridges so managing the cost of this hobby is critical. [/QUOTE]
