    So if I get 10 reloads out of the brass my actual per shot cost is
    $1 bullet
    $1 powder. (Ow! Really!)
    $0.075 primer
    $0.50 brass
    $1.25 amortized barrel

    I’m still under $5 a round. The run cost of this rifle is really quite low; more powder than a 338 Lap but all the other costs are the same.

    Now shooting lathe turned solids from a Tremor in 416 Barrett was expensive…and so very much fun!
    Nice shooting!

    What kind of scope is on your rifle?

    It looks like a Burris XTR III.

    Thanks!

    It’s a Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 w/Tremor3. It’s set up for a magnet-mount Charlie Tarac; but no need for the Charlie at this distance.

    Thanks! It sure looks like a Burris XTR.

    BTW, what kind of spotting scope do you use?
