You better believe it. On the reloading thing the price goes WAY down when you reload. I am able to reload 69gr SMK and get better results than the Winchester ammo for right about .33 cents a round.
When I got my rifle I tested a mix of different store bought ammo... I got a bunch of different kinds of 55, some 60, some 62, some 64, some 68, and some 69s. The rifle liked the 69s a lot. At that point I had a shooting test between winchester and federal match... with the slight edge to Winchester. After I got that established I took about a month (considering really bad weather) and developed a load of 24.3 grains of varget with 69 gr SMK... it's been doing really good for me.
I shot a 10 shot group that was about dime size @ 100 yards and I was also able to take it out to 700 yards and plink on an 18" steel plate. For a relatively small time investment that for me is a tradeoff between watching tv or reloading, I can save quite a bit by reloading.
