"Cheap" 338 Lapua ammo?

**Rural Ruger** · December 3rd, 2020, 11:31 AM

I know the long term solution but am not at a spot where I can reload right now (time, physical space, etc.). Anyone know a good source for reasonably cheap 338 Lapua ammo?

I am not sure cheap and .338 Lapua ever went together before covid, and it's defiantly not a thing now.

At least it's in stock.

Yeah not gonna happen. Brass alone is expensive and yoh don’t get a ton of loadings out of them

If you want cheap, you shouldn't be trying to buy 338LM. I still have some brass/bullets if you want to reload.

Thats very fair...cheap is relative in this case. Thanks, Target Sports is one that was coming up high on my list too. I havent been able to bring myself to become a member but this might be worth it finally, given the cost of ammo/shipping. Trying to remember if it was you that recommended them once before too?

Thanks, good to know on the brass on both accounts.

Fair statement, though I didnt buy the gun and didnt have a say in the caliber. My match grade 6.5CM ammo is a fraction of the price of any 338LM, even lower end stuff. Do appreciate the offer but I'm at least several years out from reloading. Basement is mid-renovation, and a little one at home means little free time as it is.

I have had the membership since this past pay, it's paid for itself in free shipping in small orders alone especially since ammo went sky high.
