As long as you are happy with it, I would not worry about nor focus on the cost.
Photo examples of accuracy are a mandate once you dial it in! Handloads would greatly improve the accuracy over commercial ammunition, although commercially loaded ammunition is better than it ever as been (mainstream makers), but there is no denying that custom handloads are more accurate. Stay away from "ultra cheap" ammo and I would not shoot steel cased ammo in it, but that is just me.
My custom 6MM BR (blueprinted Remington 700, Hart barrel, fully bedded and floated laminated stock with aluminum inserts, Jewell trigger set at 1#, PTG firing pin assembly, and Nightforce 12x42x56 scope) shoots handloads (no commercially available ammunition anyway), but even if there were, I doubt it would produce a 5 shot group like this at 300 yards (my longest confirmed kill is at 980 yards--I should have shot the one behind him and entered the 1000 yard club):
You have set the bar high sir! I will do my best though to accommodate
Where we shoot isn't 300 yards long, but I'm sure we can find a spot that is, so no worries there.
