Ammo is running around 1USD @ round delivered. You may get if locally a little cheaper. Seems to be plenty.

Wolf is also making 6.5 in steel and brass case. The steel is typical, but I understand the brass is fair. Not a 600yd tack driver, but fine for hunting.. There was an early problem with over sized primer pockets, but I think it is fixed.

I use this site, plus the normal sources for ammo. It doesn't report "no stock" but gives you an idea of what to expect.

6.5 Grendel @ .87 each
6.8 SPC run .83 each
.308 @ .50 each
5.56 @ .35 each

Most of those using it for long range, reload.
Then factor in s&h

There is a QP here that shoots 6.5 matches, might stop by??
