A little over a $1.00 a piece. Guess I should be happier. They were marked down from $65 a box.
Yeah, sometimes we wish we hadn't spent that much money on a box of something that isn't really necessary, and is more so on the "far side" of any kind of a need, but we as handloaders do some of that sometimes. It's also a very nice addition to a man's bullet-stock.
I have some bullets that are quite expensive, but were bought on a couple of notions. I have 2 boxes of 20 Barnes MRX 150 gr. Those are $1.50 apiece!
Were they necessary? Pfff! No indeed!
Would they be uber-nice to develop a good load (quickly) and bring them on an Elk hunt, should I EVER get to? Koowee! Ultra Premium and a Top Performer! Loaded in new Norma brass, plus charged with Fed. 210M and IMR4350! A little extra confidence on the ammo-end goes a long way.
Now, I can drop the same Elk just as quick with a 110 gr. TTSX...just like You, KySilverado, can drop the same Elk (or elephant) with a lighter bullet, especially one of the same construction...in this case Interbond RN. I mean, there's quite a bit that most of us handloaders do that is by no means necessary, but THIS is Our Thing. Our Thing just happens to come with some Pretty-Kickin'-Benefits and Advantages. This is a
Passion.
Try to not feel "too bad", Bro.
Enjoy those Beast-O-Bullets!
