That's why I am really enjoying shooting my 30.06.
I'll be glad when the economy gets back to where it was. If the economy doesn't come back, then I have a life time supply of 30.06, .243 and 20 gauge ammo.
Yeah 300 RUM ammo has gone stupid with pricing it seems. Have you considered what I did and start reloading for it? I saved all of my rifle brass for years, so you can imagine the hundreds of cases I have in 7mm mag and 300RUM. I'll eventually have to get more brass but in the meantime, its alot cheaper!
