If you like the Swede, ammo is not that hard to afford, if you look around a bit. PMC ammo works well in all three of my rifles. The brass is ok for reloads too. If you want to save some money on Swede ammo, reload. Get onto Midway's website, order yourself up some Swede brass and a box of 500 Remington 6.5 mm 140 grain bullets and go to town. Midway also sells loaded ammunition by several makers.

The main problem with 6.5x55 ammo is that it is not as common as .30-06, .308, 7mmRemMag, etc. You probably won't find it at Walmart, but are very likely to find it at a gun store or even a decent all-around sporting goods store that sells guns.
