I'm pretty sure it said 50 rounds. Still retarded.

[Peace]

agreed, just passing it along.   :pleased:

Coupling the finest components in the industry with bullets by
manufacturers such as Hornady, Barnes and Nosler, these rounds set a new
standard for high-performance hunting ammunition. Per 20.

 

I just read the actual description on the product (right above warnings), not any further down.

 

Saw $49.99 and "Per 20" and clicked the "X" ....  LOL

As I recall, Black Hills usually is. GREAT stuff though. Doesn't need to be lumped in with Walmart fare.

 

Once again... guilty of responding before I read the whole thread. $1+ per round is OK. $2.50 per round, hell no.

I must have missed that. I scrolled down to where (I think) you could add the item to your cart, and under "number of rounds" it said 50. It very well could have been a typo.

With the exception of using it for competitive shooting where precision is important, I could never justify $1+/round for .223. With it being sold out, obviously others can.

[Peace]

I do believe it was 50 rounds.

[mikegideon]

Black Hills comes in 50 round boxes.

Black Hills is quality stuff. It's not for AR blasting. I've paid close to a buck per round in normal times. I didn't follow the link, but am betting that they're loaded with 77 grain Sierra Matchkings. I shoot a lot of those in my 8 twist gun.

That would probably explain the price. For my current use, that's too rich for my blood. I have plans of building some sort of rifle geared more towards precision shooting, so I'll probably be forced to spend that kind of money one of these days.

I shot those Black Hills loads against my hand loads at 600 yards. My hand loads were also loaded with 77 SMK's, trickled powder charges, and benchrest primers. I couldn't tell any difference on the target. Some of the best off-the-rack ammo you can get.

[Currently]

Red box is same stuff military uses, blue box are once used reloaded brass.

Either way, top of the line ammo focused on precision shooting.

Our troops in the sandbox love this stuff!

I need to be a gun writer so they will send me case of black hills ammo (red box) for free! Or that is the way the rag riters makes it look in articles.
