500pcs of .308 147gr FMJ Pull-Down projectiles

$63.50

That's a good price Sanders, I just checked my favorite supplier, $80.00.

That's a good price listed on 62gr SS109 also. Free shipping to boot.

I've bought a mess of brass from them, in the past.

One day I'll explore their cast lead offerings, as well.

I ordered some 308 and 62gr 223. I looked over the copper plated offerings, but I need to check my powders to see what bullet weights I could use. I'd like to start loading some 40SW for my Beretta at some point.

Thank you for the heads up. I needed some ss109 to.

Any idea what their shipping runs? Average, high, low?

Sanders · 10-11-2012, 08:02 PM

I'm not sure - haven't ordered, yet. But their hazmat fee is $27.50, which jumps the cost up to what I can buy Varget for at Sportsman's Warehouse.

RetVet · 10-11-2012, 08:18 PM

The hazmat fee is the deal killer a lot of times unless you make a group order with others or order enough to get the hazmat fee waived.

I picked up 1K of Lake City 2011 primed brass from Wideners a month or so ago & tomorrow, will load it all up with 168 grn projectiles that have been sitting under the reloading bench for a few years! Not to much out there to buy from anymore after the school shooting Friday before last! Times are getting to be tougher thatn most of us thought!

The last pull downs I got, had some of the tar looking sealer on them. I soaking in some denatured alcohol and loaded em right up.

FloridaAKM · 12-23-2012, 05:00 PM

These LC brass have the tar sealant in the mouths of the cases, but I was just going to go ahead & load the rounds with out removing the tar sealant. Should I remove the tar before pressing home the projectiles? Seems to me that it shouldn't be a problem as is!
