Try this:

Why do you need 10 lbs, how big is your tumbler??

frankly, I think they can be had cheaper today than I was paying a couple years ago. If I recall 5 pounds was pretty close to $50 bucks and there was a more limited selection/source.

same folks as Jim identified but 5 pound bags ending real close to your $70 target.

or 9 ponds for $66

About 3 years ago, I bought 5 pounds of 0.047" SS for about $45. Since then the price has come down from the same vendor to under $36 for 5 pounds of the same pins.

Vendor is Bullseye Reloading: http://www.bullseye-reloading.com/

Other vendors have similar pricing for the same product and quantity as well, for example, on Amazon:

I don't know if this qualifies as "cheap" in the mind of the OP, but it seems reasonable.

Thanks guys... I guess the going rate is just that. I know I got guntap pins last time, but I feel like it was cheaper.... I'll have to check my order history.
