UPDATE :

I just learned that Shooter's Pro Shop (SPS) has cut the price for their box of 50 Nosler 30 Caliber 150 Grain CT Ballistic Silvertip Round Nose (OVER-RUN) to $18.95 + $13 flat rate shipping regardless to the number of boxes ordered

at that price, I just ordered 5 more boxes .. 8-)

This thread got me to wondering....

So I went to SPS and logged-in.

Made my first order with them in October of 2013...almost 5 years ago. I have spent $6,400 on bullets just on that site since then!

I also buy more than a few bullets from Midway...and every now and then from Powder Valley, Reloader Valley and I even have 200 300gr .411 Hornady FP on the way to the house from MidSouth (they were just over $21/50...a smoking deal).

A man can never have too much red wine, too many books or too much ammunition (Kipling).

Rudyard was a sharp old fellow .... well at least about ammunition .... not so much on the other stuff .. :lol: .. I'm considerably north of the $400 but not anywhere near the $6,400 category .. ;) .. I haven't counted but do know I have purchased several thousand Nosler CT 300 gr 45-70 and several thousand Nosler 44 caliber 240 gr JHP bullets from them .... that doesn't include a host of 30 caliber Nosler bullets in a wide range of weight and designs .... most recently I've started building my stock of their Nosler CT 30 caliber 150 gr ballistic silvertips .... yep, about ammo Rudyard was right :D

Might have to stop by SPS and pick up a box of these for the heck of it and see how they shoot. A little spendy for paper & pine cones but they'll probably make hamburger out of 'jacks this winter! Haven't been in there in a while anyway so it will give me a good reason to do so.

that's the same price as SPS on the web but buying from their store will save $13 shipping .... if you purchase and use some, I'd really like to hear your assessment

JABar, I finally got a chance to shoot those 30/30 CT bullets, with 35g W748 powder. I shot 3 rounds of that loading (Henry 30/30) at 54yds. off bench/bags with 3 different primers. The results were : Rem. Primers- 1", Win. primers- 7/8" and CCI primers- 5/16". Who would of thunk !!

I remember years ago being told that hitting a basketball consistently at 100 yards with a Model 94 30-30 was about as good as it could get .... I never subscribed to that theory .... really surprised at the difference between primers .... we use CCI but if I couldn't find them, either of the others would be just fine ... good to hear that the Combined Technologies bullets work well for your while at the same time I'm surprised in the least .... thanks for reporting back and confirming their performance

I've been using the Winchester Factory 150 Gr Silvertip in my 30-30 for scope zeroing and will take it to the field next weekend.

Luckily, found that the new version of the CT bullet is still available (and On Sale!) at Shooter's Proshop, so I ordered 3 boxes, "just to have," when I get around to reloading that round (probably in January).

Re-mining these old threads is proving useful, if expensive! Thanks, guys!
