Think ammo prices are high now? A reality check: It ain't gonna get cheaper. Buy what you can now. Same for y'all reloaders.

Interesting. Last i figured out, my blue bullet 320grn sub sonic loads run me around 40cents per round. The JHP about .65 cents. The 315grn GCFP that I love from matts bullets runs me 43 cents for subs and about 45 cents for supers. so, for loaded ammo, 30 bucks isn't a terrible deal. The lead being 10 bucks over my cost to load it myself.

Looking at the link, aguilla, and Armscor are out. The rim is too thick for my freedom arms 83.

I got what I consider a good deal on 2 more boxes of HSM 44-40 from Cabela's. Called their central order center and they said a couple of stores had some in stock and I could have it shipped to my local Cabela's free shipping along with a 23.00 discount...SOLD! Going to use it for reloading as in dump out the powder and lead and use my loads!

Glad that I have two bullet moulds , a lifetime supply of lead and linotype and plenty of .45 Colt brass. Besides that I don't own a revolver in the "out of stock" caliber.

Got my T & B bullets[500 250gr coated rnfp] last week. About to order 500 coated 200gr rnfp from a place called "Summers Enterprises". Anyone here ever use their bullets?

Never heard of 'em, Tom.
Most, of my 45 bollits come from MB, but I have used other vendors before, but
it's been a while.
The last 38-55 bullets I ordered came from Bear Creek Supply, I really like those.
Hey Tom, just looked, they are $7.50 cheaper than MB.
Not sure how the shipping compares, good luck.
If ya do let us know how they work.

Randy, I believe a lot of these casters use the same machinery and most use Hi-tek coating, sooo, I figured I'd give them a whirl.
I can use in both acp and Colt loads. Picking up bullets while the getting is good. 8-)

I hear ya, I have been also. A little bit of ammo, but mostly components.
Did find a deal on some good SD 9mm Midway has Sierra 147 gr jhp for $9.99 a bx of 20.
I ordered 10 myself, free shipping over $75. Average like.58 cents a pc. for loaded SD ammo. ;)
They still have some, I just checked.

Good deal, hopefully they shoot just as well.
Which I have no doubt they will.
I'm pretty stocked in the cast 45 bullets at the moment, but will check them out in the future.

Just got a box of 500 Xtreme plated 200 gr. bullets for use in my 44 caliber guns. Had about 10 left out of the old box after loading some 44-40 loads. For some reason my Uberti 1873 44 Mag rifle shoots those better than same size coated MB bullet which are all about .430 and of course the new 1892 Winchester likes them as well.

Im happy to have gotten into loading when I did too, about 8 years ago now maybe. I dont own/shoot/load many calibers but like yall I have dies, bullets , powders etc for all of them. I couldnt afford to shoot otherwise. I mostly shoot 44Spl, 44Mag and 357Mag, probably in that order too. I did however recently aquire a 454casull levergun that obviously will shoot 45LC so other than the 357's I shoot mostly "bigbore" guns and Ill ofthen shoot several hundred rounds a trip and that would get very expensive very quick if I didnt reload.
Please always remember to never forget, No matter where you go, there you are.
