230 gr. .45 ACP FMJ - They all fall to hardball!

Sanders · 05-30-2021, 08:39 AM

While surfing around the internet looking for some 30-30 bullets and 30-06 ammo and brass, I came across some .45 ACP 230 gr. FMJ bullets at Widener's.

Made by Wolf, copper jacketed instead of bi-metal, they were on sale for $129/1,000.

Couldn't resist that deal (and it is a deal these days).

Guess the press is going to be even busier.

They're surprisingly consistent, considering where they're from. You'll be happy with them.

I've shot them before, not a bad ammo.

Oh crap...double take!

For a brief moment I thought you were talking about finished ammo at that price...then my silly brain said, WTF??? Can't be!!!

Then I read it again and realized you were talking slugs...not the whole shebang. Color me sheepish...lol.

I could probably use some of those. Not a bad deal at all.

Did you find your .30-06 brass? If not how many do you need?

Midway USA was running a free shipping special for Memorial day so I ordered 8 boxes of 55 grain FMJ bullets for reloading the .223 caliber.

14.99 a box ain't too bad, I got the primers and powder to spare.

I haven't found any, yet, but I'm looking for 100-200, just to get started.

Of course, I haven't been able to get an 30-06 dies, yet, either. I'm looking for a set of the RCBS AR series for 30-06 with small base and a Lee factory crimp die.

Good price but that aside its good to even see a breakthrough of these even available.
Remington going 24/7 sure might be helping? Plus HR anti gun bills are still sitting in committee and seem to be stuck? Maybe they figured out Americans are NOT giving up their guns.

Even if you taped that message to a 4X4 and smashed their teeth out with it they still wouldn't get the message, or give a shit.

I’ll take a look tonight and may have some for you.

I’ve got three lots. One Winchester, one Remington, and one mix of Federal and some mixed random brands like Perfecta.

I need to keep one lot for my brother in law, but I can send you quite a few. Send me a PM.
