Just thumbing through the new Midway catalog, I noticed that Remington has a 200 count box of 40gr. .204 ammo, and it's only $197.99. Wow, only a cool buck a round, more or less If someone doesn't roll his own, and wants to go PDoggin', and his rifle will handle them, it's a deal. Or something like that.

I sure am glad I got into handloading many moons ago.

When I got my first .204, Cabela's was selling there bulk (HSM 40gr) for $119 for 200rds and I bought 2-3 lots of it and promptly ordered the dies, etc. to get into the bottle neck rifle cartridges...

When I happen across the commercial ammo and prices now, I have to pat myself on the back.. ...for at least having a little foresight..

Up North here in Saskatchewan the Factory Hornaday sells for about a $1.25 per round when you figure in the cost plus tax I reload so its no a big deal but wow thats alot of $$$
