I recently came accross their website and they were selling 55grain .224 fmj bullets for $79/1000 includes shipping. I looked at their website and their out of california and looks like they manufacture their own bullets. Anybody try them? If so are they decent quality for target practice? They had some other good prices on pistol ammo, just wondering if its any good.
Would you mind posting a link to their site?
just ordered these in 223 55 grain, ordered a 1000 they were 84 shipped. THe price jumped 5 bucks from when i last posted will let you know what i think when i get them. Also 9mm, is 84 1000 fmj shipped. The good part is all their prices include shipping usps....
He's got a guarantee as well. If you don't like them within 50 rds you can send the rest back for a refund. It's a really good price if they fly like other fmj ammo I've used. Let me know how you like them and if you have any problems with accuracy.

I might have to order from these folks. Let us know how the overall performance is with the 55 fmj.
This is interesting! Their website needs some work, but if they have success with the bullets they offer, maybe they'll expand into others as well. Give the big dogs some competition, and better prices for us.
I thought it was worth a try. If these are decent and i can shoot an ok group at 50-100 yards with my ar i will let you know. Doesnt have to be the best i'm just looking for some cheap target or shtf ammo that is decent. But for the price i thought it was definately worth a try. If they are decent im going to order some 9mm ammo too, just in case after going to IDPA for my first time on saturday i do decide to do it regularly. I'm hoping if their good they eventually will make some bullets for the 45. I do agree the website could use alot of work, but hey at least I got a confirmation email......now if only they would send an email saying it shipped....(i ordered last night)
fyi i came across these people a few weeks ago on gunbroker.com and found the bullets cheaper on the website than gunbroker. They had a lot of good reviews so after thinking about it i just said wtf and ordered them.
i received them today, they look good. It came packaged in a clear plastic sealed bag surrounded by newspaper. I pulled 4 out and took my micrometer to them they mic'd out at 223, they all weighed 55 gr + or -.1 grain and all the cannelures were in the same place. I was impressed that it got here in only 3 days. Now i just got to load them and shoot them. Overall, they look like a regular 55 grain fmj
Their price on 9mm is only $2 higher than Precision Delta's comparable FMJ, but with PD you must buy in 2k quantities or pay a small surcharge.
Good competition is a good thing! I hope they do well.
Im going to go shooting on sunday and plan on testing out these bullets. Just out of curiosity i saw they do bulk orders at $299 per 4000 for 9mm 115 grain fmj bullets. Comes out to 74.75 per thousand. If the 223 rounds shoot ok in my ar would anybody be interested in doing a bulk order for 9mm with me. It only saves 9 bucks but figured every cent counts now adays.
shot these bullets sunday and they shotgreat. Held good groups, and i set up clay pigeons 50-75 yards out and nailed them just about every time i shot at them.
Thanks for keeping us updated. Now i'll have to order some.

Sent him this:
Hi,
I was wondering if you produce 150 gr. Flat-based FMJ .308 bullets, just like the old .30-06 M2 ball ammo for M1 Garands? There’s a LOT of us out here with Garands that reload for them, and the supply of pulled surplus M2 bullets is drying up quickly. I would think that if you could replicate the M2 ball bullets for a decent price there would be a good market for them, especially on the forums for milsurp rifle collectors, and the CMP forums, plus all the reloading forums and nearly every other gun site out there.
Thanks!

Got this back:
Unfortunately I don't make those at this time but I have thought about it. I will probably get into .308 and 30-06 production next year.

Hi, C.hud what are you using for reloading data ? I bought some 62 gr. fmjbt 's from them awhile ago . I'm new to reloading & didn't think about data . I emailed them & he simply replied that he couldn't provide any info at this time. I've asked on other sites with answers all over the place from don't do it to start with minimuns . Some worries about jacket hardness & thickness. Any info would be great . Thanks , Jim
use load data from powder mfg website.Quote:

$135? I sold my 55 hornadys too cheap. PRICE INCREASE:)
Just went to order from their site now $135 per. 1000.....
yeah he has been price increasing like everyone else very annoying [panic] don't blame him tho he is just selling based on the current market.
79 up to 135 is quite a jump in six months. Panic accounted for, that's still a huge increase.
Already up time $135 per 1000. The gouge is on, even with the little guys.
If people are paying the asking price they are not gouging. Granted the "pricing" issues is beaten to death in the GD section. I'm buying components at asking price, which is prior to 12/14 pricing. Those selling locally, are looking to get their initial investment back, unfortunately this means they are less open to "deal" on larger quantities.Quote:

Its just like 2008 all over again. Prices will probably never reach the levels they were at before the original scare now were back to that again. Thank you to all you idiots that reelected our president!
Just checked and he's at $185/1000. Supply and demand...kinda leaves a bad taste.
