$2 per brass case is a bit much for this country boy.
That's kinda where I'm at, too. If I can afford to build a custom and shoot it, that's one thing. Passing it on to another person who may or may not be able to find or even afford $2.00/ea. brass is another thing.
Does anyone here have or has had a rifle in 6.5x54 Brenneke or its generic 6.5x.270/.280?
