The Remington Express 6.5 Rem. Mag. ammo is now priced at about $42/20. Others make the ammo but in general this ammo is in about the $60/20 range. Bulk brass is available for hand loading at a reasonable price And the other components (powder, primers, bullets) are easily found. I once upon a time hand loaded this ammo for a friend. The cost was no more than other similar case capacity rounds. But if you are not into hand loading, then this option is mute.
