[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 945517, member: 12995"] I don't consider Hornady to be "match grade ammo". Their brass....Definitely, but not their factory loaded ammo. This is match-grade ammo. [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/861895/nosler-match-grade-ammunition-65-creedmoor-140-grain-custom-competition-hollow-point-boat-tail-box-of-20?cm_vc=ProductFinding"]Nosler Match Grade Ammo 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain Custom Competition[/URL] This stuff is just as good, and only $5.00 more. [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/641083/hsm-trophy-gold-ammunition-7mm-remington-magnum-168-grain-berger-hunting-vld-hollow-point-boat-tail-box-of-20?cm_vc=ProductFinding"]HSM Trophy Gold Ammo 7mm Remington Mag 168 Grain Berger Hunting VLD[/URL] Might be slightly higher in loaded ammo pricing thanks to the larger brass and larger case capacity and popularity. But that HSM for $5.00 more is easily justifiable, if I didn't handload. Not that the 6.5 Creed isn't popular, but it hasn't been around for 60+ years worth of popular, yet. :D As for handloading costs, it uses twice as much powder, so you might get 150 rounds per lb of powder, compared to 100. Which means it will cost about $10-15 more per 100 rounds, to shoot the 7mm RM. But other than that, reloading costs will be roughly the same, once you already have brass. [/QUOTE]
