Yeah, that tends to happen. I think it's fair to ask "friends" to supply their own ammo. Especially when you hit 300 black. Granted, it's coming down in price, but it's still a little steep compared to other calibers.
Though.....I'll have a couple ammo cans of it in the desert with me in the fall......for all the fella's. That's different of course.
