Why are they so expensive???? Years ago, before I started reloading, that was one of our GO TO bullets and they worked great. In fact I'd still use them, if thet weren't $30 per 25.

Prices go up. Heck, gas is $3 a gallon.

Mark, fwiw, the NF is every bit as good as the TBBC & a bit cheaper. Drop Mike a note & get some to try.

Swift a frames will give you identical performance at a lower price...although still not a steel. I think these specialty bullets aren't cheap to make. And like everyone knows that bullet is the cheapest part of the hunt.
Too bad swift and speer don't have blems for sale factory direct like nosler does.....we reloaders are notoriously cheap buzzards and we like our deals!!!!!!!!!!!

TBBCs and Northforks and A-frames are all machined bullet jackets for maximum concentricity and this along with bonding the front cores make them among the finest bullets in the world. They are also expensive.

TBBCs are over priced compared to the competition as they (TBBCs) are not better bullets while they'
re still a hell of a bullet.
