[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 654954, member: 42157"] 300 RUM shooting Bergers as a final hunting round. Fun does not save me money. Sure fun shooting is trigger time, and any shooting helps...but spinning steel or bouncing balls is not even close to hitting a 12" target at 1000yds the first and last shot. Yes I could buy a new factory rifle in a smaller caliber...but there goes that costs thing again. LOL I also do not spend any money on stupid "fancy" coffee. In fact I don't even buy bottled water, as things like that are the largest waste of money in the world. I reload so my ammo costs are listed just for bullets, powder, primers...if I was to add in the brass add another $100. No way possible I could afford to buy factory ammo. I have tried shooting cheap base level bullets (Core Lok, Hornady SP, Sierra GK) but their accuracy is noticeably less then the premium stuff at 1000. The Bergers are less then dime each more then the Match Kings, so I might as well shoot them. 22LR I like, but again I don't have one that is super accurate with affordable ammo. I shoot 22's a lot out to 200yds, so I am gaining some help. Just looking for pure 1k stuff. A new accurate 22 is right up there with a new centerfire rifle. I just ordered some 80gr 22 cal. MK's for my .223 to see how that goes for 1k shooting. Of course I have to send off another scope for turrets. At least the turrets will hold their value. [/QUOTE]
