    why ammo so expensive??

    My recently purchased 111 6.5 284 Norma I think will be a great gun once I'm done dialing her in--but for the life of me I can't figure out why the ammo is so astronomically expensive (even before the ban jitters)--over $3.00 each time I pull the trigger. Are sharp shoulders on brass hard to make? Ironically, the 6.5 .264 bullets seem easy to find. Gonna have to start reloading or I can't afford to shoot this gun!

    PS can't figure out why Savage slapped a POS 3x 9 rifle nikon on it--like delivering a ferrari with off-road tires.
