Never heard of MAST. And 40 cents a round is a bit pricey.

It's a new name to me too, but if it's actually lake city brass, boxer primed, and clean powder, it should be a decent new option. .40 per shot is not "pricey" for the current market...historically, yes it is, but I'd say that's slightly better than average in what I've been seeing this fall.

Moved to the appropriate forum, when would this be General Discussion??

MAST sounds like an outfit with some experience but I had no idea that they were involved in Lake City which I thought was a ATK operated plant.
