aerosigns Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 We have done this before, but prices are starting to drastically increase. I normally use Ranier 230 gr. plated bullets. Until lately Midway has had them for 32.99 for a box of 500. I say 500 because they charge $80+ for 1000. (Duh!) But recently they must have caught on and raised the price now to $45+ for 500. Right now my best deal is from Cabelas for .45 230GR RN TCJ 1K = 71.98 Shipping = 8.75 Delivered = 80.73 Does anyone have a better price than this?

Bruce Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Ever in the St. Louis area? Had luck several years ago with bulk prices picked up (on rifle bullets). These are good guys. http://www.iidbs.com/hitech.zkb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Man Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm going to try Precision Bullets in my SS after I run out of JHP's. If they "feel" like lead all the better IMHO. FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I used about 3000 MasterBlasters and about the same number of Precisions and I had less coating wipe with the Precisions. I used the 225gr MB versus the 230gr Precisions so velocity had be be a little higher with the MB. I really like the shape of the Precision without a grease groove but the nose shape required them to be seated a little deeper. This may also be a factor in requiring less powder. I still had noticable smoke until I slowed the powder speed down to WST. Prior choices were Clays, TG, American Select & Ramshot Competition. Slower were HP38, 231 & Ramshot ZIP but I got powder particulates back in my face with the wind blowing. I have some Berry 230's on order to try in the new 625 since crud from the MasterBlasters stopped the cyclinder from rotating at about the 5-600 round range. It was a designed test to see how long the gun would work without cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Jim, I would seriously look at the Precision Delta 230fmj....82 delivered a thousand. You have to buy 2 k at a time, but they shoot great in my guns, including my 625. I am shooting 230 LRN from Two Alpha at $42per K for practice and local matches, and the PD FMJ for matches. If you need some LRN let me know and I can bring you some when we hook up. DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Currently Precision Delta has the best prices on bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosigns Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) I re-investigated the pricing as of today for 1000 - 230 gr. Here is the real tale of the tape: __Company______Price + Shipping = Total 1. Master Blaster...74.95 + Free = 74.95 2. Cabelas............71.98 + 8.75 = 80.73 3. Precision Delta..91.50 + Free = 91.50 4. Midway USA......74.99 + 16.68 = 91.67 5. Hi-Tech Amm....82.00 + 11.14 = 93.14 6. Graf & Sons......93.51 + 3.95 = 97.46 Even with free shipping Precision is pretty pricey. So as of today Master Blaster has the actual best price.

revchuck Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Jim - "Precision" and "Precision Delta" are different companies. Precision's delivered prices are what you have above in post #8. Given the $1.30/k price difference between Precison and MasterBlaster, I'd go with the Precisions. Swaged bullets are a lot more uniform than even good cast bullets. Besides, Precision heavily supports the practical shooting sports in my area. (MB might do it in their area, I'm just too far away to know.)

Vlad Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Also you are comparing apples to oranges. MB and Precision are molly/polymer covered bullets. The Precision Delta ones are FMJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket35 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I would also like to recommend Masterblasters bullets. I have had great results and even better service from these folks. Unbeatable price and quality make them a win/win in my book.
