I was recently have a discussion with a friend about the cost of shooting our guns, I have a 6.5 and he shoots a 308. He said he was thinking about picking up a 223 "trainer" to "save a bunch of money".
So I headed to the inter-webs to check prices and match 223 ammo is not that much cheaper than 6.5cm match ammo.
So I guess my questions is this...Is there any significant financial benefit to shooting 5.56/223 primarily and saving 6.5 for matches? If so what factory loadings are easier on the pocket and still shoot ok?
Thank you
