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?
Great points as usual sabotloader! I pay the premium for BH209 because it's the best powder out there. And it has been proven. Maybe some day when Lehigh bullets prove themselves I'll be able to justify the price.
