Looking for the best deal on bullets. Type or grain would not really matter to me while working up loads for plinking. Would like several hundred of something I can stick with.
Thanks.

Aim has some for .70/round. I buy mine through Sportsmans Guide when they offer free shipping.

Assume you are reloading? I use the 139 gr. Prvi from Graf and Sons, pretty decent, not exceptional for around $22/100. Their ammo is also pretty reasonable and shoots decent. :D

Years ago I ran into a box of 500 107 grain Sierra Match Kings in .264. They shoot great out of my M96.

Ah..... The 6.5 Swede. I have often wished I had bought a Swedish rifle so I could reload for it. One of these days. I think the suggestion to check Grafs is a good one. They are top notch and shipping is free, with only a single handling charge.

Thanks guys, I order 300 Hornady Match HPBT from Midway last night for $24.99 per 100. I'll pick up some primers tomorrow and I should be set for a while.
