Price check on Nosler 69gr competition BTHP bullets. Also, how do they compare to SMK?

What's the current market price on Nosler competition 69gr BTHP projectiles. I found a source for them and am thinking about trying some out. Has anyone used these? If so, how have they worked for you? I use SMKs now but i can get these for significantly less.
 
Ive tried them (only 13 rounds) with the same recipe that I use with the 69smk's. So far real close with my limited testing and no tweaking but Ive only tried 3, 3 shot groups. Im getting right under 1/2" with the sierra and right over 1/2" with the nosler Where is this source you speak of?
 
Shot both and both have been close to each other. I would be interested in the source also. Usually you can find good prices on th noslers a shooters shop.
 
The source is local. He's an older guy and doesn't have any internet access and won't ship. I might be able to score some for you guys. IIRC he wants $60 for a 250 piece box.

Probably fair in current market condictions, 250packs at the store were 45-50$ before everything hit.

I bought abunch for 12cents per awhile back and have been shooting them in my rifles, can't tell a difference between them and 69smk.

25 grains of Win 748
23.5 grains TAC
24 or 25.3 grains Varget
Mag length
Shoot fine for me
