I was just browsing, hoping they will get in some M118LR, and found they have added some Hornady 150FMJBT. They say is meant to emulate M2 Ball. It is somewhat pricey at $425/ 500 plus shipping.

Yeah that's on the high side.

Yea that have carried that for a while. It has been issued a couple of times by CMP at the Camp Perry National Matches. You can get it cheaper on line from other sources.

I'm going to try to load it cheaper!

Yes, $850 per 1000 + shipping is HIGH.............

But remember a few years ago vendors were asking up to $1000 per 1000 for 55gr FMJ 223 ammo. I bet they didn't sell very much......

Say $0.30 for the bullet, $0.15 for the powder, and $0.03 for the primer as an example. That is 48 cents per round. Cheaper bulk bullets and powder & primers in bulk will reduce that quite a bit.....

I got 500 150 FMJBT Hornady's for $103.00, shipped. I get H335 for @$18.50 per pound. So, I figure I'll be well under that $.48 per when I get those Wolf primers in.
