Challenge seems to be the cost of components for this calibre - bullets are at the high end it seems, and brass is obscenely priced. Factory rounds are at the stupid end of expensive from what I can see too. Cheers.

I load for the 6.5CM and bullets and cases are no more expensive than for other cartridges of similar size. Factory loads can be purchased fairly reasonable as well it depends on the particular load.
