bobmysterious Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I just checked the 147 gr 9mm rounds and they've gone from $313 to $330. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowhand23 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yes, prices have went up again. Bought 6k from Manny a couple months ago and 3k of Zero 147 JHP. I like the Zero's too and will likely buy more if the MG continue to increase. http://www.rozedist.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RZD&Product_Code=R147-B&Category_Code=ZBJ-9MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ...will likely buy more if the MG continue to increase. Have you also considered Precision Delta? They are less expensive than both MG & Zero and, at least in my case, they seem to work just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS101 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Damn! I knew I should not wait till I am out to re-order.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer67 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Precision Delta 9mm 124 gr JHP shoot just as well Montana Gold's 124 JHP. Now that PD is cheaper, I'll probably switch. I'm not a fan of PD's FJM, however. I'd shoot the Zero's if I shot 147's, they're very consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yea, didn't know they would go up so soon again....I had a old invoice from 2007...

warpspeed Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Lead is at 0.90 / lb. A year ago it was $ 1.20 Copper down from around $ 4.50 to $ 3.50. Certainly can't be raw material prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddrod Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 That is why I am so glad I cast my own bullets from free lead alloy I got. I have 1000 lbs stock piled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 That is why I am so glad I cast my own bullets from free lead alloy I got. I have 1000 lbs stock piled. I shot bare lead bullets for a while but doing so requires a lot of barrel cleaning. Same thing with moly-coated. I'd rather pay the extra $$$ for FMJ/JHP.

CAMO66 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I was placing an order on their web site rite as the prices went up. One minute the prices were one price, I had half the order in the cart and then I went back to the list of bullets to add a differant type and the prices all changed. Went to the cart and all the prices were up. O'well. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmysterious Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Dude, talk about bad timing! Well, I've been wanting to try out those 160 gr Bayou Bullets anyways. I guess today's the day! Thanks y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Lead is at 0.90 / lb. A year ago it was $ 1.20 Copper down from around $ 4.50 to $ 3.50. Certainly can't be raw material prices. It doesn't work that way. With the shortages last year, it's likely many manufacturers stocked up on supplies at higher prices....or ordered enough to ensure they didn't run out....now they're catching up, but have been sitting on inventory for a long time. Add in that shipping costs, heating costs, electricity, etc, have all gone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This is my opinion: The price for lead and copper is not going to go down, unless China goes into a depression. If you like a bullet, buy now and buy a lot--at least a case. 1000 is not enough, 5000 is a good start, and 10,000 sets you up for several years and you can always resell bullets later for more money. If bullet prices go up 5-10% year, you are in-line or ahead of inflation. I can't afford jacketed bullets for .40 or .45, but the 9mm jacketed bullets are almost the same as cast lead bullets on a "per bullet" basis. I have just short of 10k 9mm/.38 Super bullets and wish I had more money. I shoot a lot of 9x19, 9x21, and 38 super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I would like to try Zero bullets, mostly 147 9mm, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. I did see that Powder Valley had a few but I don't know what their shipping costs are. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see. Most shooters like them better than MG, but availability is the most common complaint. Going to be a more lead/moly bullet shooting for me.

Sarge Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Dillon prices go up something like 3% every year. I don't see everybody buying Lee because of it. Just buy good bullets and suck it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I shoot lead for practice/local club matches and jacketed for area matches. I looked at it this way if I don't like the prices they are charging I'm not going to buy from them. You need to talk with friends about doing a group purchase. Couple of guys from local club were asking if anyone was interested in a large group order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpeltier Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Dillon prices go up something like 3% every year. I don't see everybody buying Lee because of it. Just buy good bullets and suck it up. Hardly a good analogy. Being that bullets are a consumable and Dillon presses last forever. Add to this that bullet prices have increased much more than 3%. For me it means I either look for less expensive sources or shoot less. In the last 5 yrs I've spent 3 times as much in bullets than my Dillon press cost me. Maybe more.
