It looks like around $1.00 per shot.

I guess its up to each to make that decision, its clear to most the 68 at least is gaining ground, and 2009 should be interesting...
As stated above, there are a number of ammo manufacturers but they still average about $1 per round. That is why I reload my own. In fact the 6.8 SPC is the only round I do reload. It now costs me less to shoot my 6.8 then it does to buy cheap Wolf ammo for my 5.56
MadDog :cool:
You can regularly find deals from Silver State Armory, Cheaper than dirt, and Midway USA for around 15.50 -17.50 per box of 20. I recently bought 10 boxes from SSA for 16.50 box for 110 gr. prohunters.
For good ammo- yes, it's around $1 per shot.Quote:
