Gonna be expensive to replace, but gotta do what I gotta do!  Still hard to believe how quickly a 6000 count box can disappear.

I go through spurts so it varies.  This one was about eight months.

Right?  Now the cheapest I found it is $529 + the government cut.

Add in that price jump along with the powder and primer price increases and, well...

Seems it is always the bottom of something.  Bullets, powder, primers.  Shit!

If these are the same as they load in wolf gold, might be a good option.

Wondering if that's new old stock, about 5+ years ago the 55 gr projectiles could be had for 4 or 5 cents each.  For blasting purposes I wouldn't hesitate to load these, heck if it goes bang I'd load anything
