Swifty52: Yes that grouping with those handloads in that caliber "qualifies" (for what I don't know?) but I am still impressed with the Hornady factory ammunition!
And yes I paid $31.00 (no sales tax in Montana) per box of twenty rounds for that ammo - so your estimate is just a tad low (actually $1.55 per round/shot).
Would love to hear about the particulars on the bullet/loading/Rifle that made that super grouping for you.
Enjoy that rig.
