Yeah. That's what I paid. $72 for 200 of them.
I also got a couple of boxes of 150gr SST's for $44 per box of 100. I would have preferred 165's, but at 50% more per box, may as well play with the 150's.

I was lucky enough to pick up 150's, 165's and 180's for $44 each. I noticed they quickly changed the prices back on the heavier projectiles. Got lucky. Can't go wrong with the 150 SST anyway, especially at that price.

I picked up a box of 500 168gr Z-Max recently at quite a bit more than the price you would've bought yours for, but from everything I read about them, people just raved about them. I think they were a limited production from Hornady, so figured I'd pick up a box even if a bit more expensive, so I could see for myself how good they are.
