Especially here in NZ with such stupid ammo prices. If you were to do their maths at NZ prices it would be an even bigger gap. However I would probably not shoot this ammo out of a nice stainless barrel, considering it is generally softer than carbon steel but from a black rifle or SKS/AK it is definitely worth the cost saving especially if you don't reload.
