Looks like .338 Lapua Magnum factory ammo runs between $85 - $95 per box of 20. I think I’ll stick with what I got. A 20 round box of .300 Win. Mag starts at about $18.

Governments must be buying it all. They’re the only ones who don’t get concerned about the price as long as you’re the low bidder.

The .300 WM is nothing to sneeze at. US Navy rifle match competitors have used it for decades for Wimbledon Cup shoots and other long range work, and the Germans chose to have their AW snipers rifles, designated Scharfschützengewehr 22, SSG22, equipped with a folding stock and Zeiss scope and chambered for the .300 WM cartridge.

Of course, you can do what I had to and begin with .416 Rigby cases....
