Cost difference in reloading between .308 and 300 WM

[nickorette]

I'm just wondering what the average cost per bullet you figure the difference would be between .308 and 300 WM.

I know there are thousands of combinations for bullets, primers, powder, etc, but just a rough estimate would be awesome.

Roughly twice as much powder, brass is more, bullet and primers the same. I would say 30% more as you get more reloads from 308 brass.

Give or take, not enough to make a big deal unless you are shooting alot!

bullets can be more, too. the 155 is a very common choice for the 308, and costs less than the heavier VLD's you can use in your 300WM.

Still, I agree you're probably looking at ~130% of the cost of 308, all said and done
