How about a contest?

Kinda bored sitting here reading posts and my mind was wandering and I thought of something that has no real purpose. Its probably easy since I'm sure some of you have thought of this before. Or maybe not?

How about 2-30 round AR15 magazines in good condition to the person who can tell me the significance of these numbers:

[b]250.20
297.18
388.62
171.00[/b]

Hint:
Since this is a firearms board they obviously have something to do with firearms.

Obvioisly won't ship these mags where they are restricted so I'll have to think of an alternate prize if it is necessary.

They look like prices to something. Maybe prices to piece together an AR or FAL?

the cost of 4 of the last 5 orders you've placed for firearms parts/accessories.

Alright this didn't go over so well or else nobody else has ever been as bored as I was when I thought this up.

I thought maybe someone would at least get one of them.

Just so happens to be the calibers most of us are fond of.

Answers:

5.45 X 45 = 250.20

7.62 X 39 = 297.18

7.62 X 51 = 388.62

9 X 19 = 171

One person had:

I love math:
