[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1932061, member: 10"] first off, for the time being you would need to form your own brass which is easy. Buy a pound of unique powder, a couple pounds of plain yellow corn meal and a couple rolls of TP and some primers and your ready to go. very easy to do. I may tool up to offer formed brass for these down the road but thats a significant investment when dealing with bmg class cases. So brass finished cost is a bit up in the air right now with the final bullet price and i will not speak for Brian and Steve on their bullet prices but will say their pricing is always competitive with other bullets of similar design. RWS brass is $4.35 per case + shipping. Primers around $0.35 each. Powder will burnt at a rate of around 260-280 grains per shot so just depends on what powder you use for powder cost. Around 25 rounds per pound of powder. however, once you get the brass, the loads i recommend will allow at least 8 firings per case, usually 10 firings per case so if you figure brass cost over the life of the brass, will be less then $0.50 per shot for brass cost. honestly, cost to shoot these rifles will really be no different then shooting any top end ammo in a 50 bmg.
