[QUOTE="JAMMAN, post: 76962, member: 4559"] Hi guys, I'm pretty well settled on making the .308 my first rifle for use for going long (although I do have a .270 to play with until then) but want to throw in the mix the economics for maximum shooting enjoyment. 1) What is an average load for the .308 running YOU? 2) What is an average load for the .300 WinMag running YOU? 3) What is the brass costing for for the .308/.300WM? Could you help me break it down? Here, the brass at one shop for the .270 is $28/100. I forget what the cost was for the MatchKings. Also, with any waste or such, how many loads are you getting per container of powder? I'm asking all this as it appears that the .308 will end up substantially cheaper to reload, but I haven't run all of it and don't know quite enough to do a very good job of it. Anything else I've missed in the consideration of this subject, please just set me on the straight and narrow! Thanks [/QUOTE]
