Cheapest .30 caliber or bigger rifle cartridge?

[Win 38-55]

30-30. I cast my own bullets out of used wheel weights, so cost is probably around $5.00/box of 20 for primers and powder.

Cheapest out fit I can think of:

Bubba'd SMLE................ $100.00
screen.......................... .10
pullthrough.................... 3.00
solvent.......................... 4.00
oil (High Arctic, 1 oz.)..... .25
Primers (20).................. 1.00
Powder, 1.6 oz. ............. 3.25
LEE Liquid Alox, 1 btl. ..... 4.00
LEE mould...................... 30.00
wheelweights, 10 lbs. ..... 1.00

That's a grand total of $146.60 and that's for the rifle, the tools AND enough loaded ammo for your next 20 deer. Brass you can scrounge from one of those rich guys who throw it away at the range.

Don't get no cheaper than this.......

Have fun!
