Was wondering where you all got your bullets. I usually buy from Rocky Mountain Reloading. They have great prices and shipping is included. Graf & Sons, Midway and ACME Bullets is other places I buy from.
I watch for sales. I get emails from several companies. Widener's, Natchez, several others... Then there is a guy at the gun shows up here that I have bought stuff off of.
I live in southeastern Indiana not many shops carry stuff for reloading. Madison Outdoor is were I get my powder and primers. I really don't want to plink with XTP's and ELD match bullets.
Most of mine come from snscasting.com. This is a friendly father and son operation. Shipping is included on full cases. I sometimes use TheBlueBullets if a friend is ordering from them. It seems for any mail order company, mass quantities are required to get the best deals. I regularly go together with other shooting friends on bulk orders to get maximum quantity discounts. The biggest order was about 700 lbs of bullets that I picked up directly at SNS.
I have used Berry's and Ranier in the past with zero issues, but have moved to coated due to cost. If I really need a copper coated bullet, I'll go all the way to something like XTP bullets or purchase loaded ammo.
More casting their own here than I expected to see (Leadeye was a given... ), that is a good thing.
I've tried all the above and none of them have stood out as the worst or the best. Problem is, most of what I shoot wears a jacket. Last orders went to RMR and Barry's.
For pistol I have used a lot of plated from Xtreme over the years. Match up their "Deal of the Day" with a sale when they have flat rate shipping and you'll get yourself a decent deal.
Regular prices have been creeping up over the last couple of years and now have me looking at the powder coated stuff (red or blue).
Every now and then I have found some great deals on rifle bullets from Midway.
I have bought from Midway, Natchez, Midsouth, Cabela's, and local shops. Most of them come from Cabela's since we have a Cabela's credit card and use it on EVERYTHING to rack up the points. So most of my bullets come "free" from the points gained on the credit card. Balance is paid off every month so I am not paying for bullets with interest on my purchases either.
