Depends on the make. remington stuff can be picked up for 30 bucks or so/100. Lapua brass is well over a buck a piece now. IMO for bench/precision shooting high quality brass is very important.

Something's not right there dude. Wal-Mart sells the cheap federal fourty pack for thirty bucks: If anything, it'd be good for at least one reload.
I'm paying $34.95 for a new bag of .308 Winchester (fifty count), making the price, per piece, about 70 cents. My local dealer also has Lapua on the shelf for $79.95 (100 count), but I suspect this is older stock (and priced accordingly). A loaded round costs me between $1 - $1.50, depending mostly on the bullet choice.

Ha! Interesting. Lapua makes my 20 tactical brass though. Headstamped "Frontier" I think. Very good brass IMO.

Better grab another hun then.
You have to buy brass when the getting's good.
I picked up 9 bags of 250 Savage brass in the last couple of months.
Had an ad in the EE for a while with minimal luck then all of a sudden it seems everyone has it in stock.
Availability seems to go in stages, especially for some of the more obscure cartridges.
Buy as much as your wallet will allow.

We have no problem obtaining and suplying Lapua brass, as it comes from Finland. It is rarely that we are out of their product, but they don't have nearly as wide a selection as do the American companies.

I've never seen 22-250 brass for over $1.00 a piece.
It has gone up in the last year, as I bought a bag of 100 from Wholesale Sports in January for 46.99 and it jumped twenty bucks within two months, but that's not nearly $1.00 per. It's basically the same price as .308 win, about $30 per 50 or $60 per 100.
Once fired 22-250, I've bought some recently for $20 per 100, again, same as .308 win. And that's in the Yukon.
