Title: These guys have a good price on bullets, but I don't know
Post by: Monkeyleg 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.

PS: Any of your gunshops sell Fobus paddle holsters?

Freaky. Cool. Need range report, if anyone survived.

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

(Something I've actually contemplated getting into.)
