Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Are you Fuggen kidding me???

Why the hell does Remington feel the need to charge 32.95 for a box of 7-08 140grn. PSPCLs. That company could Fug up a free lunch. Or maybe they are TRYING to kill this cal. like they mostly did the 260.

7-08 is not a caliber. It's a cartridge.

How do you say it is Remington that charges this ? You should be asking your retailer that is charging that price. Retailer's go by supply and demand.

Roll your own.

Loonys don't let Loony's buy factory ammo!

Its the deadliest mushroom in the woods, I don't see what your complaining about.

NO in todays world they go by what ever they think they can gouge you for. The shooting industry is going to kill itself.

Yes it is a cartridge, my bad. Supply and demand, BULLSHIT. That's their price everywhere I find them. I do roll all my own. My son in law who has never hunted before wanted to come to deer camp with us so I picked him up a Savage mdl. 11 in 7-08, nice enough for a starter rifle. I don't have dies or 7mm bullets yet. That price just pisses me off when the next box over was 7mm Rem mag for 28.00.

and a box of .30-30 would have been $15 and .30-06/.308 would have been $18. That's something you shoulda thought of before you bought a cartridge that doesn't make the top 10, and probably not even the top 25, seller list. Nothin wrong with the cartridge, but more volume = lower prices. Be glad you didn't buy a .358

It is what it is nowadays.. Try something like a 300H&H and the $32.95 will seem really cheap. Glad I reload.

It doesn't piss me off anymore because I have faced reality!

I've taken the next logical step and that was to prepare survival wise for the crumble of society that is inevitable due to greed and immorality.

Today its called an extremist
In 20 years they will be called realists.

You'll find .17 Remington and 444 marlin ammo even more expensive, in fact, lots more.

Not quite sure what the point is. It cost what it cost and and you paid it. So it was worth the price.

Ha ......price some 22 hornet or 218 bee. It will make you feel better..

and how much was the 06?

Try to find some in the Weatherby line!!!!
They will really impress you.

A set of dies and a few used tools and you are on your way.

Sounds like somebody finished that box from 1989 and had to go buy another one!

Factory ammo has BEEN outrageous for years, reloading is the only way to go.

At least factory ammo is high quality these days...

Actions have consequences.

Ill considered actions lead to bad consequences.

There is nothing wrong with the cartridge, or probably Remington, or even the retailers. Supply, meet demand.

Step outside the mainstream flow and one will find life more expensive. Dies aren't that expensive, maybe a couple of boxes of ammo equivalent? Purpose driven arms and cartridges are not plinking tools these days. Box of bullets, pound of powder and a few caps go a fairly long way.

If a fella just has to plink with a rifle and ammo is costly...





If all else fails, screw 'em.

The one on the left looks a little short on grease..

Try to find the hornady whitetails, by me theyre $19.99 a box
