Sound good though Winchester is all I shoot out of mine if I can help it, the rifle likes them over the others Ammo has been going up, but the last time I bought HMR, I bought 200 Winchesters for £40 Quote Link to post
Mr_Logic 5 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 <chuckle> Ammo prices ARE going silly, but HMR is not megabucks - try shooting premium factory 243 or 308 - THAT hurts the wallet Quote Link to post

And how much did the reloading equipment you needed cost? Thanks very much Edited May 3, 2009 by elvolcan Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 From what I remember, the whole set up with a Decent press and all the trimmings was £350 I think. I can't comment on .308 I'm afraid I don't shoot it Quote Link to post
Mr_Logic 5 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 308 is about 50p, sometimes a touch more. Quote Link to post
