I think guys who are concerned enough about precision loads like this and are able to pay $110/box are likely hand loading in their basements already.

I see they load using a Bonanza Co-AX press. I have one of those I use for rifle loads.

I would settle for Federal just making some of the GM45B Gold Medal 45 Auto 185 gr FMJ SWC loads.
$72.99 / 50

I agree completely. They are handloading.

BTW: What’s this thing you call a basement ?
I dont think Texans have those.
If its underground, its called a tornado shelter

I’ve got about 200 rounds of that left from a case I bought 10 or so years ago.

My Baer printed it’s absolutely best 50 yard group with it; 5 shots at just under 3” (and, to be transparent—I was not shooting it; a buddy who is a very serious bullseye shooter was running it).

And this ammo will work in any other similarly chambered rifle.

$110/bx.
