Thank you bd, I feel better now cause the were not cheap either!
You'll have to jump thru some hoops to load them properly. Have to use the shorter Hornady brass (or trim regular brass to the correct length), and you have to either use the Hornady seat/crimp die, or a regular seat die and a Lee Factory Crimp die. All because the bullet is longer than normal. For my money, it's not worth it when there are other options.
