Indeed... 25 bucks for a 15 dollar bag o’ bullets is no deal. 
Stay safe.

I believe he was pointing out that since the plinking bullets were the same price per round as the match bullets, it made purchasing the Sierra's a no brainer.
Still, 50 cpr is a high price even on the Sierra's, but I'd pay it if I needed bullets that very day. Otherwise, I'd find better pricing online and order in bulk.

That's a very valid point for choosing brass, but I've never had a bullet of any sort last more than one firing.
You gotta start casting.
I use range scrap when I can. So I've had a bullet last more than one firing many times.

Darned close, but nope. Check your calculator. $24.99 + $24.99 = $49.98. 49.98 divided by 50 comes out to .9996, while 49.99 divided by 50 comes out to .9998.
Nevertheless, because I'd never heard of the other brand, I'd buy the Sierras even thought they cost .0002 cents apiece more - that is IF I needed 30 caliber bullets, which I don't.

In the grocery stores the price is broken down to cost of each unit for low info consumers. We on the otherhand can reason and calculate with the best of them (hopefully
).
To me it comes down to economics of use. What will be an exceptable accuracy at the range used to get the job done. That's why I like REM Cor-Lokt bullets as they are inexpensive minute of deer or hog bullets at 100 YDS or less with good expantion.

Well, if you get down to the nitty gritty, the PPUs are $23.32/lb and the Sierras are $20.83/lb. So, the Sierras are obviously a bargain that any savvy shopper couldn't pass up.Darned close, but nope. Check your calculator. $24.99 + $24.99 = $49.98. 49.98 divided by 50 comes out to .9996, while 49.99 divided by 50 comes out to .9998.

You aren't trying hard enough. I once shot the same .40 180 grain bullet 3 times. Just to see what would happen. It worked all 3 times.That's a very valid point for choosing brass, but I've never had a bullet of any sort last more than one firing.

Happened to me in Colorado. North of Durango on 550. Just one bag on passenger seat. Bout gave me a heart attack.
I have recovered some that could have been.
