Carmoney Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Just ordered a bunch. With the pricing pressure on metals and fuels, I can't imagine these are going to get any cheaper in the months to come.... http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...leitemid=518890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they do USPS shipping at $9 per box??? -Cuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck-IL Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Nope - Midway prices the shipping by weight - Cabela's prices it by dollar value of the sale and that tops out at $13.95, at least last time I bought there (few months ago). So even if the bullets are a few cents more, the delivered price is likely cheaper for a decent sized order. /Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerosigns Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Mike and everyone, I have bought several different orders from Cabelas, and they always have come out cheaper than Midways good price / lousy shipping deals. My last order was a few days ago for 1500 230 Gr. Ranier plated. 1500 @ 98.97 + Ship @ 9.75 = $108.72 HOWEVER, Cabelas has since raised their prices by $8/K. I ran both through and with shipping Cabelas = 82.73 Midway = 77.80 Mike wins by a $5.00 nose on this one. (One funny thing you have to notice at Cabelas though. It is cheaper to buy two boxes of 500, than it is to buy one box of 1K. So I always order by the 500 count box.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run n Gun Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Angus has Zero's 230 FMJ for $80 shipped or if you buy 2000 $85/m for JHP, shipping included. GhostHolster Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Jim, one of these times we need to send somebody down to Columbia to pick up bullets. I agree their shipping terms are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 With gas prices, it may cost more to drive there! If anyone's short of Federal Primers, check Wideners (said they had 133,000 of 'em). There are none left in the KC area and was told there's a back order of 4 months from the factory. Good Luck at the Nationals everynone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosigns Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Mike, Checked on the distance from Hannibal to Columbia. Thought about making a run the week of Nationals. But it's about 100 miles one way. Like pskys said, with gas over $3 (plus 3+ hours of driving) it's still not a high profit margin idea. I just ordered a spare 1K, plus a few other things I have been holding off on due to the high cost of shipping with Midway. I always hate to order from Midway when they try to bag you for extra shipping if you don't order more than $25 from them. Brownells & Cabellas don't seem to have as much trouble with shipping as Midway. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
