Looks to be pretty good quality, just has a "Z Max" bullet instead of a "V Max" bullet.

The SST (was the V-max before) is #8078. The Z-max is #80782. .223 Hornady 75 gr. Match #8026 .223 Hornady 75 gr. Steel Match #80261 .223 Hornady 75 gr. TAP FPD #80268

Cool to buy as a collectable trinket/conversation starter but over priced as a usable product IMHO.

I've been seeing this as well. Some of the guns stores around are with in a $1.50 per box from each other. Now, I can't remember wich store had the cheapest. Guess it gives me a reason to hit the stores next week.

Same here. My guess was the shop was having a hard time selling "gimmick" ammo.
