A few years ago I ordered some factory ammo for the above calibre from Hunting and Fishing. I don't think the fella who I spoke to knew much about it, or anything really and verbally indicated it would be expensive-around $180 for two boxes. When it finally arrived a couple of months later I had to pay about $350 for the two boxes!

On a positive note, it was this that encouraged me to getting into reloading. As yet, however, I haven't needed to load for it as its not my main rifle. Will follow the thread with interest.
