Their coupon is back to 10% so with free shipping and no tax, that puts them at 14.4¢ on the doorstep.
Current batch, No. mind if I ask how the 95 gr fusions have been working out for you?
Sorry, I just used this thread because I didn't want to start another American Reloading thread. The 95s I have were advertised as "95 gr SMKs" but actually ended up being 95 gr Berger Classic Hunter's. They've been absolutely stellar for the price for practice rounds out to 550 (I load a very mild charge at 2400 fps in x39 brass). Out of about 650 loaded, a few, maybe 5 or 6) have gone in the RB due to a slight protrusion. Occasionally (once or twice in a 50-60 round session) one will be quite errant - likely due to a deformity from pulling, but I just give them a very quick visual inspection and roll the bearing surface in my fingers when loading. I'm not a game hunter, but if I was, this would be the 6mm bullet I would use - I can drop them onto a 6" octagon plate at 550 if the wind isn't too kooky. If I saw them offered up again, I'd buy as many as I could.
