dazzyboi Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Just curious, as im now a .17hmr head which as we know is quite an expensive round.... How much do you spend on ammo? Ideally most of my shooting from the rifle will be done stalking rabbits and foxes, but occationally down the range aswel, which is where you will start to notice the hole in your pocket.. think im paying around £11 for 50 rounds of feds everytime i go down there. i can see me spending a hell of a lot more when the gun is passed over to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kip270 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 £1 a shot in my .270, so £20 a box, .222 around 75p a shot, £4 for the .22, and so far prices for the .17 are £17.50 for cci Easy to spend £100 in one go Now reload for the .222 and just waiting for dies for the .270 :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'd say average of about £15 per week. I buy all my cartridges by the 1000, and bullets are cheap enough as there are no .17hmr at our club. .22rf CCI are £2 per box of 50, and I then get 20 rounds of something larger for about a tenner. Nothing too harsh, until the HMR arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Just curious, as im now a .17hmr head which as we know is quite an expensive round.... If you think that, stay well clear of centrefires! I have paid anywhere betwen £18 to £23 for a box of 20 6.5's, and that is the cheaper Federal stuff, I have never even bothered asking about the Premium stuff I need some shotgun cartridges soon as I am bracing myself for that, I haven't bought any for a while.
