Typically US$100 each according to Wiki.

I imported an inert round years back from H&H- cost 55 quid at the time, ie ~$100

The limited supply I found via google is

Depending on the 1000 grain projectile loaded US$50>100.
Im also picking that they are mostly sold to cartridge collectors and that a tiny percentage of them are actually used for the intended purpose.
