Besides the obvious math error to come up with $1 a round, I'm concerned with the MSRP. $1100 for 300 rounds?

Yes interesting math. You may need to use vectors cosigns and deltas to make that math work. I know. Ask them to show their work I take it you will ask for clarification?

Didn't they tell you? Math is different inside The Matrix...

I saw this ad earlier today. The online distributors are out of their ever loving minds. In the last three weeks I was able to purchase locally the following:

Federal Range Pack .22lr- 800 rounds for $45
Federal American Eagle .357 mag 158 gr. JSP- 50 rounds for $25
Winchester White Box .45 Auto 230 gr. FMJ- 200 rounds for $120
Winchester White Box 9mm 124 gr. FMJ- 50 rounds for $25

I have no idea why people would pay these outrageous online prices......

Yeah, but the shipping is free........ i suspect the round count is incorrect in the add. 1000 round case instead of 300. Still high but not too outrageous considering the times.

Either that or there is a naught in the calculations in desperate need of someone to carry it.

I always hate it when they mis-place the "." or mess up on the 2 to the 4th power in their addition.........................

Where is the slide ruler, when you need one.

They are the same marketeers that came up with the "8 = 12" blurbs on the paper towel packs. Most certainly the result of Liberal Art majors teaching math in our schools.
