Prices like these, as well as high prices for bullets for hand loading..... are exactly the reasons I went to cast bullets for my 8mm years ago. I now paper-patch 174 grain RNFP cast for my Mauser exclusively. 2200 fps through my 17.5" barrel, 1.5 moa (with iron sights) and perfect performance on our Eastern whitetails. They cost me about $12 per 20, plus some time and effort.
