But that is a beautiful looking gun there[:D]. They are a little cheaper on Midway. Here is a link(keep in mind that there are 50 rounds in a box, not 20).

Wait until you have to purchase ammo that's $125 for a 10 round box ($12.50/round) before you complain about $60/50 rounds ($1.20/round).0 -
Henry if you win this one I will hunt down some ammo for you!
You are so very kind to mention my auction....thank you very much.0 -
Henry - the dealer I help with computer stuff recently sold 3 boxes of 22 Rem. Jet at $60/box plus shipping... and I've seen some crazy prices on other stuff (a completed auction at $75 for a box of S&W brand 38spl +p 158grn SWC Nyclads).
I think Mike even has a box of 25-20 on his shelf... if you win the rifle, let me know and I'll see about getting a deal for you on it.
BTW - still need your mailing addy so I can send you the 44 mag empties from my giveaway... iwannausername at gmail dot com0 -
Last week I sold a box of Remington 25-20 (50 rds) to a customer for $40.00 plus tax and then ordered a replacement box only to find the wholesale to be $40.65; lot of profit in that sale!!
A lot of people are going to be in for a "sticker shock" this coming hunting season. RJSnow0 -

That's one sweet LA rifle there. I've always wanted one like that. But one that shoots cheaper ammo like you said. 0 -
I got the same rude awakening doing my homework before bidding on a Taurus revolver in .218 Bee. 0 -

That could make for one very expensive nostalgic shooting adventure![:0] However, you'd have cases for reloading.[:D]0 -
You paid $2200 for a box of ammo?
I mean, to each his own, but if I were your brother, I would have you declared mentally incompetent, and have you committed to an institution.
Then I would spend all your money on $35 bourbon.0 -

Cabela's had .218 Bee the last time I was there for only $47.95 a box. Hey that's only a little less than a dollar a shot for those power house's.[:)]0 -
I think ammofor my .356 Winchester is more than that![:p] But as they say we should all have at least one gun for which the ammo is no longer available![}:)][}:)] 0 -

I guess it is a good thing we are not brothers then[:0][;)].
Yes, I paid $2200 for that original 1890 vintage box of W.R.A.Co. 50-95 W.C.F. cartridges. It goes very nicely with my 1887 vintage Model 1885 high-wall in the same caliber[^]0 -

I won't need shoot any of those cartridges for nostalgic reasons... I bought (100) rounds (5 boxes) of reproduction 50-95 W.C.F. ammo from the Rocky Mountain Carttridge Co. and only paid $300 for it. http://www.rockymountaincartridge.com/0 -
I saw a box of 700 Nitro for sale for more than my truck cost new. 0 -

Be glad you weren't purchasing a box of original 70-150 Win ammo [:p] (I know, all the factory ever made were dummy rounds).
IIRC the reproduction *live* round (singular) I have is worth somewhere north of $1250 -
Bert - you ever have the slightest urge to load up one of them $110 cartridges and pull the trigger? 0
