That is less than half price.

Amen. I love that my $7.75/50 200gr LSWC load shoots better than the 2 boxes of $32/50 200gr LSWC ammo I bought when I picked up my gun. Yes, $32/50 is a joke of a price to pay, but I just HAD to shoot my first 1911 that very day and that was the only LSWC ammo they had. Damned if it didnt shoot good though, and boy do I feel good that I can make even better ammo for 1/4 the cost! Isnt that why this hobby is so addictive;(
