These guys have a good price on bullets, but I don't know
« on: November 13, 2010, 07:08:23 PM »
I need to order some Sierra 168 gr .308 Match Kings, and went searching online for a place to buy. I found a place that has good prices, but they also have this photo as part of a home page splash screen:



If they don't understand the "bullet-leaves-barrel-case-does-not" concept, can they be trusted to sell bullets? ;)

That's also a pretty thick vapor trail behind that cartridge. I didn't know bullets left vapor trails.

Looks to me like an interesting, quirky add.  Obviously the image is fantasy, but it is drawing attention to it, no?
PS:  Any of your gunshops sell Fobus paddle holsters?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Grampster, I don't know about paddle holsters, but I grouped together all of the stores that mention Fobus here. I guess you'd have to call.

It looks more like a "male enhancement" ad.

So, some new startup is using gunrange pickup brass to make swaged large(r) caliber bullets.

(Something I've actually contemplated getting into.)
