[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 723485, member: 6713"] I thought he said he was looking for a deer rifle not a prarie dog shooter. How many rounds a year are you gonna shoot out of your deer rifle 3 to 5 to check your zero and 1 or 2 to kill the deer. Federal premium ammo for the 7mm-08 is $42 per box, same cartridge for the 308 win is $40.59. That works out to less than $20 per year for ammo. Good quality ammo costs about the same for either round. Surplus or cheap crap for the 308 is for sure cheaper and for sure crap. Federal premium for the .243 with a 85gr Barnes power shock is $33 per box. Cheapest and most effective thing is to roll your own or find someone who will for you. [/QUOTE]
