[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 1943231, member: 97649"] Great feedback on caliber. I do think every expense should be justified, at least commensurate with the need, but in this case, justifying the cost of the platform is more important to me than that of the consumables. You're right, the larger caliber costs more than 224, but ELR is a thoughtful, deliberate pursuit and we don't blast through a ton of ammunition indiscriminately. I know you, like me, plan every round that goes down range, then assess the results and adjust as necessary, and this results in a slow pace of firing and a relatively low round count, so I would tend to see the cost of consumables as moderate compared to the investment in a capable platform. Thx for the cost estimates on your components, that's very helpful and I'll look at those. [/QUOTE]
