RE: affordable ammo [lol]
For me the Core Lokts in bulk have been a blessing and the free brass from the nearby range. The reloading equipment was gave to me and the only thing I have had to buy is a few pounds of powder and some dies. Id hate to say what I have in a box of reloads but Id venture less than 3 or 4 bucks for my 270 and 30-06. Not everyone will receive their equoment as a gift but my point is you dont have to go broke shooting. As Eldeguello says..watch the auctions. I got a set of nearly brand new 300 Savage dies for $5.
