Does the price of ammo impact your choice of a rifle caliber

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

It hasn’t really been a problem so much but I try not let it become one.
I started with a case of 200x 7mm-08 so I have everything correctly head stamped.
I started my .280a.i loads with new unprimed brass.

All you need is to anneal your case necks and shoulders every 5 shots, keep your cases trimmed and load just under max and 200 cases should last the life of the barrel.
A bit of mucking around but well worth it.
I have some 222 cases that I bought 2nd hand with god knows how many loads thru them and still got 15 loads out of each case before I scrapped them and bought 100 new ones. These should see me out as that should give me at least 2,000 shots minimum.
