I got a case of that Aussie .308 at that same time in blister packs in 250 rd cartons for $99 the 1000.
Still have a bunch.
It will get cheap again when these wars end.
I also picked-up a few cases of the same in blister-paks, too, a few years ago. It was under $115/1,000, IIRC. Just keeping it in the ‘inventory’, for now.
