I watched all 20+ videos on this subject.  This rifle builder shares his 50 years of experience with precision reloading.  Lot's of good nuggets.

Before all the reloading prices went crazy (thanks, COVID ), I was reloading .338 LM for right around a buck a round.  It's not that pricey, if you're reloading the stuff.  Beats the $6 per round if you're buying ammo.

just getting a slow burning powder is not hard but damn near impossible and 60 bucks a LB. not to mention getting good bullets I thought about it and it is going to cost me here around 2.50 a round if i can get the components that is why i passed on 338 Lapua Great round if you can do it ....

It's up now, because of the stupidity of prices.  Especially primers.  It's around $2.50 now.  RL-22, CCI Large Rifle Magnum primers, and 285gr Hornady projectiles.  When I was loading a buck a round, it was 250gr Hornady projectiles, and I stepped up that cost (even then) by moving to the 285s. 

Still beats the old prices of "being chambered for $6 bills..."   Which is probably $8 bills now, for loaded ammo.

I'm still seeing anywhere between 5 and 6 bucks a round for Hornady 285's, depending on where you get them. I've been keeping my eye on them to feed the MRAD.
