Wonder if it'll be cheaper than shooting .223Rem?

Found a US price, same as Midas+, even a brick is almost 50c per round US, that is steep.

Can't find a current "in stock" price on Midas+, but Centre-X is US$165/500 on that page and A$264/500 currently here.

Last time I bought Center X it was $225/500, about 12 months ago.

Members on Sniper's Hide & RFC have already done quite a bit of testing on these two new Lapua offerings - Looks to be shooting no better than proven lot numbers of Center X BUT selling well north of current CX prices.

It's a pity that Lapua didn't concentrate on addressing the world wide shortages of their current 22LR ammo instead of introducing a couple of "new" packaging alternatives.

In my area, SK/Lapua of any variety is non existent these days.
