Good deal. They are interestingly designed bullets for sure. I just wish they were a little less expensive. Between cost and shipping from Knight, I'd have to raid the retirement to get a good supply. LOL

I purchased 100 of them for a $1.00 each, from Cablea's, when I bought the Extreme. Heck I pay about $2.00 a pop for Barnes here. I just practice with less expensive bullets.

I was lucky and picked up 100 of the 185 grain "Bloodlines" back when Lehigh sold them directly. I think I paid about $40 for 100, several years ago. They are a great bullet.

Nice harvest! That is a nice looking buck, glad you could connect.

Yes you were. $40 will get you 24 of those now.
To my knowledge, the only place you can get them now is Knight.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Nice deer. Love hunting in the snow. Amazing how you can see the trails that the deer leave. Helps with understanding how your property is set up with your deer population.

Love it!!!
