haha... hahahaha... ha..
Seriously though; I was talking to a guy in PM today about brass, It's cheaper to buy Rem factory match loads than 'just' brass these days. If you plan on shooting a lot of 6.8, buy all the factory you can get your hands on and reload because brass is a pain in the arse to find for less $.
My source currently has Remington Express 115 gr. FMJ's for a whopping $0.89/ box cheaper than you found. Last year I paid $32/box for 110gr Match ammo and $27/box for Express. But still I took all I could find.
.. Welcome to the wonderful world of reloading the SPC. It's expensive to buy, cheap to reload. If you can get the brass or manage to find/rezise some .30 Rem brass you're laughing. But it's just as hard to find .30 rem. The Silver State Armory brass is a little cheaper than the Remington, but if you shoot the 6.8 in a bolt gun like me, you may not like the small primers. My 700P will shishkabob them. I'm 98% sure that there is no brass in stock in Canada and quotes on ordering range from $55-75 for a bag of 50. There's a never ending supply of .270 bullet flavors out there, so start working up.
Enjoy.

$27.99 likely is cheap. It runs $19.29US for Hornady to $37.49US for out of stock Remington at Midway, Stateside.
Epp's is listing it with no manufacturer given.
Suggest you buy 500 cases, if you can find any, even if you're not reloading. The manufacturers drop cartridges regularly with no concern whatsoever for their exisiting customers.
