    Seems to be so buying bigger orders pays. That order was for 2 forum people and me.

    Have to weight sort cnc machined projectiles?
    I am also running some makers (30 cal subsonic) but have only shot one animal so far and neck shot so can't really comment on terminal performance or accuracy other than it's good enough to neck shoot @101y

    Significant lot-to-lot inconsistencies are a problem when loading mixed lots

    It is all relative. Ask a meth addict about the cost of their consummables. Do they care. I want it I get it. An evening meal for 4 adults will cost you that. Google the cost of fishing on a private English or Scottish manor. Make your eyes water. I know a bloke who makes mega money and is now a gun addict. Chews thru barrels like nothing else. His response...do they repeat yesterday's.

    Absolutely. Compared to any sport involving a motor, guns are cheap.
    Most people spend more on chocolate for hunting trips than they do on projectiles.
