I like to stock up and when I make a purchase I try and buy more than I need, like it's the only cartridge I own - which isn't the case but helps keep me in components for some time.
A few years ago I bought 600 Highlander 8mm projectiles for $120 (the minimum order was 500 but they came in packs of 200) - that's $20 a hundred!! Dirt cheap even then, and they shoot like stink - very accurate, but only a range round really (198gn FMJ BT). Now they have stopped bringing them in small quantities (low demand, 8mm is not a popular calibre here, as you may know) and minimum order quantity is 10,000. That's too much for me. Someone is bringing them in now but they are around normal projectile prices.
