And that they are usually 100 odd for a box. A tips aren't even that expensive and they are consecutively packaged on the run.
That's even getting above the cost of lathe machined brass projectiles from cutting edge etc.

When I stopped shooting my soopadoopa tacticool 6.5mm 143gr E-L-D-X, and instead used my retarded .308 Win and cheap Speers, my deer numbers went through the roof. So work that out.
Say E-L-D-X like a US Marine squad on a training run. Out loud. With people around. Go on, I dare you.
E-L-D-X
Sorry, it's been a long day. The world's gone nuts.
I'd be measuring my new E-L-D-X by the way, because the last batch of ELD-Ms I got were way out of spec (ogive) compared to the previous ones.
Wouldn't want to be buying a Covid Tesla that's for sure.
I worry that other retailers look at this and get ideas.
Well yeh, this what happens when sport, activity, or pastime suddenly gets trendy.
Yes you can import projectiles without a NZ import permit.
I've imported over 18,000 projectiles (1,800 boxes) over the last 5 years.
Originally I needed an export permit from the US - which wasn't hard to get.
Now for small quantities (less than 4 orders per year I think) you don't need a US export permit.
Of course there aren't many projectiles to buy in the US at the moment.
It isn't illegal to own projectiles, cases, powder or primers without a FAL.
Only when you add primer, powder and projectile to a case do you need a FAL.
But cant you buy it from the stores for just over $100?
Guy selling 100x 129sst or 100x 123eldms for $250 a box...jesus
