They're definitely going to have to adjust their pricing if they expect their product to catch on.
For myself I totally agree, but would you not think that IF the bullets catch on and full production runs begin that pricing has a chance of coming down... the old addage the more you make the less expensive it becomes.

You thought is exactly why i do not shoot BH-209, why pay $30 for 10 onces and why do they charge that much when you compare that to any other smokeless - progressive burning powder that Western distributes.

Even apply that to the cost of SST/SW's, Noslers, and Barnes bullets - you pay for Barnes because they work for you, I pay the remium for Noslers because they work for me. Somebody is going to pay the price for Lehighs because they work for them. I for one would not think of plinking. shooting paper, clay pigeons with them I prefer to use the less expensive and shoot simular speer offereings.

I have not even done a comparison of premium bullets at this point but I will offer this my favorite bullet cost to me is @ least $50 for a box of 50 .458/300 Nosler Partition Protected Points (todays pricing). What would be the cost of a simular package of premium Barnes @ the same size?
