> For GOOD .308, expect around $1.50-1.75 a round. In one of my recent mags, they were shooting a short barreled .308 bolt action with the Hornady TAP in 155gr, and were doing 1/2 MOA 5-shot groups. The 168gr was hitting 3/4 MOA in 5-shot groups. You can usually find that ammo for $27-30 for a box of 20.

I was talking about shelf prices. I normally wait for gander to put the ammo on sale and then it’s .35 a round. For cheap .308 and 30-06 the price is the same. For target shooting .308 would be a better choice though. How expensive is the hazmat shipping on ammo anyway?
