you must have got the last of them. they are sold out. ;D

Yeah that's the way it is with the better bullets. They sell out in a day or two but the Range mix or even the better mix's never sell out. I do get some nice bullets thru them cheap so I go there every day or two.  Craig

buying factory seconds and pulled bullets is about the only way I can afford to shoot jacketed bullets anymore.

Absolutely, buying boxes of XTP, or HAP get expensive quickly

Just got my critical duty 500 yesterday so I will be sorting and weighting the 500.  Craig

Morning Craig, when you buy these ?pulled bullets? what bullet style and preferred weight do you like the most? Also, what kind of percentage are damaged or unusable if any?
Thanks

Hey Ken, all are shootable with minor scratches and I mean minor!! They allways give you a few extra incase but I have never seen one I wouldn't load and shoot!! As far as what I hope for in 9mm lately I have been hopping for 125g but the last order I just weighted and it was mostly like 95% 115g with 20 100g but no 125g. I will work up a load for 115 but I have shot that weight for 45 years!! On a side note in weighing the bullets today I went to a three bullets per weighting and boy it went fast like 40 minutes I was done with all 500. Now with most being 115g looking for 345 on the scale was easy but it was easy to pull out the 100g as it only then weighted a total of 330 or so and I would weigh them all separate. Real easy!! Also the style I am going for are JHP.  Craig

$28 per 500 shipped with both discount codes. Dont know how you could beat that price. No tax free shipping.

40 cal FMJ mix. My last batch hardly even had any crimp lines once I got them cleaned up and sorted they looked like almost new.

Yeah I have been getting bullets from them for 10 years or so and except for one order that came apart in transit all orders were good. They even offered to make good on the order that came apart but they always put in extra so I had a full order when I counted everything. A really great company. Even helped with primers during the last two years.  Craig

OK I ordered some HST mix whatever that may end up as and much to my surprise they are all HST 124g I couldn't be happier. Strange delivery, the cci small rifle primers came first and then the bullets came a few days later. At leased I got them both.  Craig

I would imagine that would be due to the primers being hazmat and the bullets are not.

Hey Craig, did you get the HST?s from American Reloading, or another vendor? If the price was right, I?d like to get a bunch

gadabout

Hey Ken yeah it was American and I think they may still have them. Look for discounts all so.  Craig
