Midway usa has the Rainers!
Rainers come in DEWC

You can get the Berry's at Dillon or Natchez shooters supply.

Most people use the HBWC for light and acurrate low lead loads. Please be aware the the plated bullets have to be loaded hotter than the lead bullets.

So if you reload them don't go to low with the lead loading data or you may end up with a squib load. I believe Berry's plated bullets says to not go below 800 FPS velocity with their 148 gr HBWC.

Agreed. Good folks, good product, quick delivery.
I've purchased probably 6000 or 7000 bullets and nary an issue. Last year I bought a T-Shirt (gotta represent, yo ) and they didn't have it in my color choice, said if I would take an alternate color they would throw in a hat!
