Every time i shoot my 7.7jap ... Err ahem, Arisaka to be PC, i pretend the report from the round going off is my gun saying "boom-cheeseburger, boom-chicken fingers, boom-watermelon" cause i could buy one of those with the same money spent on each round.
Thus i only shoot that thing once a year or so, do a 3-5 shot group and pick it up lol.

Sadly, they're both cheaper to shoot than my .257 Wby, .300 Wby, .270 WSM and for the most part either of my 7mm Rem Mags. Seems that nothing is "cheap" to shoot like it used to be, just a few short years ago. I've got a reloader but just don't spend much time with it unfortunately.

Sadly, yes. Just a couple of prices from BPS. The .270 WSM is just a few bucks under half a hundred.

And these are pretty good prices. Check it out next time you're at your LGS and you'll most likely see way higher prices than these.

Ouch Joe, you weren't kidding.
They were charging $41 for a box of plain old .270 partitions. I know the partition is an excellent bullet, but I ain't paying $2 per round. Just not happening. Plain old 130 gr soft points work good for anything cxp2, and the heavier for caliber core lokts are suitable for most cxp3.

Yes, the magnum rifle ammo has gotten insanely expensive. I was shocked the last time I bought 300WM ammo (even though I don't hunt with this inherited rifle...I want a stash around just in case).
Other rounds that have gotten very hard to find and crazy expensive are 45-70, 45 Colt and 44 magnum.
Hell...even premium 30-06 and 270 is not cheap these days!
I totally understand about the old military calibers. The 6.5x55 ammo for my Swedish Mausers is not easy to find and not cheap unless I bulk buy the Serbian stuff. Ditto for 303 British.

And the sad part is I have a reloader with quite a bit of supplies, just haven't used it much at all. But I don't shoot rifles (bolt action hunting rifles anyway) nowhere NEAR as mu as I used to. 
Hell, even reloading isn't "cheap" to do these days.
