Not to crap on your thread, just an observation.
At 6 bucks a box that means the ammunition costs $12 per hundred.
Now, I'm not really a math wiz but that means the projectiles should be much less than $10 per hundred.
If we go to our favorite low cost reloading supply store, a box of 20gr V-Max bullets cost right around $20.
Why?
They are three grains heavier and they cost almost double the price.
Why can't Hornady just start selling the projectiles to us? I know people have asked before. It can't be that hard to do. Sell them 200 per box to save shipping and packaging.
Hell, I'd buy them by the 1k at a time if that's what it took.

Still, economically the cost of the other bullets doesn't make any sense.
And I want my 17gr bullets please.

Jackets are too thin. Speed freaks would try to push the envelope and then complain they were blowing up
