Were are you guys buying bullets at? Iam looking for 1000 rnds of .223 and 9mm both in just FMJ....

I think iam just about done, if the chamber gauge i got in from brownells today was .223 instead of .222 i would be in great shape.

Just btw,some of the links in the stickys are no good anymore...

Check wideners. $459/6000 with free shipping. Best deal going for hornady fmj.

Damn thats a lot of bullets,, dont need that many..lol..

Thats gotta be one heavy box. The shipping has to be a bit.and giving the UPS man a hernia probably cost extra..

I've used Midsouth Shooters supply.

I've also bought the 6k from Wideners. The shipping is included in the $459 and yes the box is heavy.......about 50lbs.

Buy it, use what you want, then either save the rest for a rainy day or sell them to your friends on this fine chat board.

Maybe once a month I buy 1,000 of whoever has the cheapest Hornady 55gr FMJ's. And unless I'm buying match grade bullets, this is the only 55gr FMJ bullet I will buy. My usual dealers are MidwayUSA (currently on sale), Widener's, and PowderValley.

I'm nearly to the point where I don't see a lot of point in loading anything but 77gr SMK's. I buy them in lots of 500 when I can find them on sale and they just work well.
I've purchased from Cabelas - MidSouth - Midway - Weidners - Grafs - PowderValley and a few others I am sure.

Regarding the Widener's 6000 deal, is there any reason to choose the SP's over the FMJs for range use? They are $10 difference.

If you feel like trying lead, take a look at Bayou Bullets. They are coated lead, and produce very little smoke/leading. The owner is Donnie Miculek, Jerry's brother. Great guy to deal with.

I shoot the 124 LRN.

Same here. My 55 gr bullets gather dust for the most part. I'll occasionally load up a few hundred for blasting away. Or sometimes I load them for buddies. But all our guns are zeroed with 77s, so it's easiest to shoot all heavy bullets if possible.
