[QUOTE="220s, post: 1100051, member: 91230"] Having just ordered a 240wby I can tell you why I did. Availability in a factory rifle and availability of factory ammo. Compare the cost of a rifle, my vanguard will cost me around $600, don't know about the cost of a build in the US but here in Aus your looking at around $600 minimum to supply fit and chamber add in the cost of a donor rifle and your going to be up for $1k A set of dies for the 240 have cost me $80, 6mm/06 will cost me $300-400. So a rifle and dies sees me set up for a minimum of $600 cheaper with a 240 v 6mm/06. Loaded norma ammo for the 240 will cost me double what unprimed Lapua or nosler 06 brass will. By the time I load the 06 brass not much cheaper at all. So I had the choice of buying and setting up for a 240 with 100 rds or doing the same thing with a 6mm/06 but having to wait upwards of a year for a build and having to pay at least $500 extra to do so. The more expensive brass is a far cheaper option for me when everything is factored in. [/QUOTE]
