That was a price from a Canadian reload shop.
Last box of 174`s I got was $65/100 count. These would be $325/100 count plus taxes.
Who would buy these to shoot a match, you`d be into 1000`s just for projectiles :sok2
shoot em if you got em

LeHigh Defense Target copper solids 150 gr. in .311 are $59.00 for 50 bullets all day everyday in the U.S.  I've shot a ton of them and have found them to be very accurate.  I started off with similar loading data for any other 150 grain bullet and have had no problems.  They are longer than traditional bullets due to lack of lead in them so be aware if you seat them deep enough to fit through your magazine they will intrude into the powder space, even more so with the LeHigh 180 gr. target solids.  They are manufactured with inletted rings so as to not have more surface bearing area than traditional bullets which could have caused higher than expected pressures.  I especially like the long 180 gr. LeHighs in my civilian M.L.E. MkI* which is surprisingly still chambered for the MkVI round.

Shiloh:  They're $59.00usd per box of 50 here in the U.S.  I shoot both the 150gr. and 180gr. LeHighs on a regular basis.

About 20 years ago, a box of 500 174 SMKs was just over $80.  And I thought at the time that was a lot.  Now triple that here in the US, if you can get them.

Hard not to think ammo manufacturers aren't being pressured by governments to make a fake "famine" of components. Just another form of gun control.

Two ways.
1: Look up to my earlier post where i did it.
2: Copy/Paste into "Gooogle Translate"! (A handy bookmark to have saved any way)!Star

Yes I said 20 I meant 50/box. Still $59USD is roughly $80(+ tax) Canadian, stupid expensive for only 50 rounds. I also see no distributors in Canada that I can find.
I`m currently spending $65 plus tax for both 150 and 174gr Hornady SP/100 count.
shoot em if you got em
