Shortage on 300 gr FPBs?
Switched from 350 grain to 300 grain FPBs this year since I am hunting a mulie instead of an elk and finding them hard to find. Cabelas and Basspro are both backordered out to 2-3 weeks (about when I leave!). I did find some but seems like either poor planning on Hornady's part or demand exceeded expectations. Ordered 3 boxes from Natchez today but that is about the only place I could find them.

I found 10 places really fast. This seemed like the cheapest.

I can check too if your in a pinch. That $10.39 is the cheapest I have seen them, I didn't check the shipping charge. In the past Natchez shipping has been a JOKE , hopefully you got a deal on it.
Any reason you don't want to use the 350gr , I have used them on whitetail with much success.

Dang should have asked here first! You are right about the shipping charges. $15. Thanks for the link. And appreciate the offer of loaning me some. I have 3 packs and I bought 3 more so I should be set.
Since I was hunting mulies, and wanted to be able to shoot out to 150 yards (open sight) I decided to give the 300s a try and they seem to be slightly more accurate than the 350s in my LRH. Not really that much difference in trajectory, those 350s fly pretty flat out to 150 yards.
