TTQ B4U Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Looking to pick up 500-1000 soon. Figured I'd ask here who may know where the best deals are currently. Thanks for the insight on what you've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybe Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Suggest checking FreedomMunitions - they're the parent company for the XtremeBullets components. $225/1000 remanufactured, $248/1000 new brass * these will be 115gr (small/light) projectiles - pretty snappy, but par for the course for retail ammo. Heavier projectiles will be softer shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=AWG223FMJ55&name=WOLF+GOLD+.223+55grn+FMJ+20rd+box&groupid=21 Wolf gold is good brass ammo. 340+ shipping from AIM for a case. Tax kills the deal and the shipping is pretty reasonable. But they are in Ohio and they do ship fast. http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/product1887.html 340+ shipping. I think shipping is 15-20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharris89 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Consider loading your own? I like Barry's 124 gr bullets. The set up is expensive but you can tailor your loads to your shooting preference and gun (s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be talking with him and reviewing his set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be talking with him and reviewing his set up. If he has a progressive press and is willing, you could offer to have him load in bulk for you. I load single stage so it's slow but I load plinking ammo for about 8-9 a box. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybe Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just placed an order for a 1,000 FMJ 9mm. We'll see how this stuff performs. * Be advised, these aren't Full Metal Jacketed projectiles. They'll be copper-plated lead, so they're great for pistols but might not hold up as well at higher speeds (eg. shot from a carbine, etc). Excellent for pistols though. Here's what they offer in 124 gr; 115's will be a bit shorter at the base. http://i.imgur.com/r5gQ98x.jpg?1 Round Nose, (non-expanding) Hollowpoint, Flat Nose. The flats / hps make nice clean holes in paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be talking with him and reviewing his set up. Let me know what he says. I am still trying to figure out what reloading press to buy. Also space is an issue for me I have a low ceiling in the room where the setup would be. I know progressive presses with automatic case loaders get pretty tall.

Also space is an issue for me I have a low ceiling in the room where the setup would be. I know progressive presses with automatic case loaders get pretty tall. If I may, .. skip the headache/hassle of single-stage or manual-index presses and pony up for a Dillon 650 w/ casefeeder. Aside from a major increase in productivity, it's a safer design. I have literally tried to create an unsafe load (raising the ram four, five times) and been unable. It just won't double-charge. (And it's got a lifetime warranty.) Buy the press last. Get your powder, primers, and projectiles first. You'll be surprised what a pain in the ass that is. A press is always available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharris89 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 That's good advice. I bought a single stage but I did so knowing it would be slow. Plus I like playing with different loads and hiding from the wife and kids in the basement. If you have someone who will go in on it with you that would reduce your set up cost significantly. If you do a lot of plinking a progressive is definitely best. If you are worried about height build your own bench and lower that section. I'm using a reenforced computer desk.
