Target Sports Delivering Again - Megathread

i am probably an exception then - as i got my 750xl setup this year, got all the primers i need and all the powders i need. it did cost plenty, true, but with the price on match grade 6.5CM going up to $4.50 per round and the lowest price to be, still, at $2.15 per round - it is way cheaper to reload.

but, yes, takes some effort to hunt down primers and popular powders like varget or reloder16.

This. You can definitely get primers but you have to work at it and you have to be willing to dig deep into that wallet

For those shooting 6.5 (or .308, or .223) if you haven't set up an account on CMP, now's the time to do so! The ammo comes and goes, and some calibers (6.5 and .30-06) don't last long. Shipping times are lagging about 6-8 weeks, but what you get is great ammo at a price no one else comes close to.

This 6.5C sells for $1.10 per round, and includes Hornady brass and bullets.

A few weeks ago I shot three 3-round groups of this ammo at 100 yards out of my Savage Axis. Here are the three groups, compared to a .75 inch nickel. Sub MOA out of a $250 rifle at only $1.10 per round delivered?! I plan to get at least one more case the next time they pop up.

CMP indeed had good match ammo - and groups above are good for CMP. but it is not clear what the 2022 prices on their 6.5CM match will be.
here is a group of your own 6.5CM reload:

Prices on everything I have been watching and buying stayed pretty stable during the last year. The 55 gr. .223 has been $.65 per round delivered, and CCI SV $.07 per round when you buy a case of 5k.

As for perfecting handloads to shoot out of a Cabela's $250 special Axis XP (with 3-9x Weaver scope!), I think I'll stick with these factory rounds for now. I'm saving the Hornady brass in case I do decide one day to upgrade the rifle and invest in reloading equipment. Before that happens, I'll need to know primers and other components are readily available though.

Oh, and because no one else has posted this, here's my favorite 6.5 meme: 😜

The CMP house offering of 22, which is rebranded Eley, is the balls. I hope they get more of that in. I believe it was around .08 a round.
 
Belom 9mm is back at .29 per. Definitely good to see brass below .30 finally but belom isn't my personal favorite. Quite a few fte, seems a bit weak. decent enough range fodder though.

1.) For some reason I thought you were way older. I thought you were the old man who reloads in his sleep, brings the hand cannon to the range, i.e. "this bad boy sleeps next to me!"
2.) That 40 YOV bit was one of the funniest freggin things I've ever seen in my life. I've watched that movie so many times hungover. "You using too many big words so imma take that as disrespek....BOTH yall getting clapped!" [rofl]x10000

One of the funniest movies ever. Steve Carell is so natural as that goofy, awkward nerd. That chest waxing scene looked real?

Another vendor who ships to MA has a 10% off coupon code (2022) until 11:59pm tonight. Just snagged one of the Igman x39 720 round cases for 40 cpr shipped. Not bad. They have cases of Wolf x39 in stock which after the 10% off, beats any other online vendor including TSUSA. Lots of other calibers too including 560 round 7.62x51 in ammo can for 75ish cpr shipped after discount.
PM if interested.

S*rbian made 9mm, dirty burning and had a few duds out of the few hundred I shot. Decent range fodder - agreed
