Looking at the prices of jacketed rifle projectiles always makes me wince a little.

Sounds like a good outcome, though.

ITS ABOUT A 45$ SAVING PER BOX OF AMMO http://www.guncity.co.nz/308-hornady...idp217001.html

Yeah, for sure. I bought 20 rounds of .303 ammo and it cost me $48... I nearly fell over.

yeah but, my 308 is a hunting rifle, i didnt buy it to shoot bits of paper so the high cost on a deer hunt dosent really worry me as i doubt i'll ever see a deer!

True, although practising and verifying that you will actually hit said deer when you see it would also seem to be an important part of the process...

I know your pain RM. I always fired more rounds plinking and zeroing than in anger on hunting trips. Then about 1/3 of the shots in anger are just used to scare animals. I think maybe about 25-30 shots i've fired have actually killed something.

Some types of ammo are definitely more expensive than others. Replacing my bolt action .243 with a .308 would certainly help consolidate the ammo types I use, with enough shooting it might even make financial sense...

anyone having domestics with tank? he said he wants to get into shooting, so i invited him but hes worried he might get shot, depending on who turns up haha

I had similar problem a while back and the cheapest solution was to hacksaw the case in 1/2, unscrew the priming pinholder/internal neck sizing thingy on the bottom of the zip thread, and pull the Hornady pieces out from the now destroyed 308 (or 270 WSM in my case ) brass

An idea to toss around

OAFFAH = The Onewhero Assocation of Fine Firearms Afficionados and Hoplophiles.

Edit: No, make that OBFFAH = The Onewhero Brotherhood of Fine Firearms Afficionados and Hoplophiles...
