[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 655008, member: 10291"] Unless you decide you have to shoot the really big stuff like the 338Lapua which I'm in the process of doing, I don't think the cost is much different in the ammo when comparing 300, 500, or 1000 yards. For me, it's the accessories and refinement process that begins to add cost. More accurate rifles, better rangefinders, chronographs, scopes, more sophisticated reloading tools, weather stations,etc. For my 1000 yard deer and antelope hunting I shoot a 6.5x284, and a 260 Remington for targets. I actually shoot less at the longer ranges than I do at the shorter ranges, focusing on the quality of the shooting much more than the volume. I'm hooked though, and I still spend a lot less shooting long range then my buddies spend playing golf every weekend. At least that's what I tell my wife. I don't think she buys it. [/QUOTE]
