Broken order came in
So, I just received an order for bullets and some range brass but the order came in with one bag when I ordered two and charged for two. I went on the website and emailed the owner then found a phone number on the shipping invoice. Well, I figured it would go to voicemail and I would leave a message but the owner answered. It's 10pm in TX! He said he will take care of it and ship it for free.
I don't usually do this (giving up my resource) and its a bit premature but the company's name is Big D Armory. The parent company is Eureka Sports & Outdoors. Small outfit which started recently but the order took less than a week to arrive; no waiting three weeks for orders to ship.
I do have a question. On their website, there is a 50 round bag of 125 grain ( .38 (.357 mag) Flat-tip which I bought the last bag. Can I assume its simply full metal jacket flat nose (FMJ/FP)?

It can be 3-4 different types of Jacket or Lead bullets.
One reason most places have...................
stock numbers............ to ship orders correctly.
Mukiteo, is a great place to dig for steamers and washingtons and find a dungnus crab in the pools under the kelp at low tide...................I miss that place.

Mukilteo is a nice place. Ten minutes down the road there are two docks you can crab at. To get the best tasting crabs, you need a boat. For clams, Edmonds is the place to go. Dang, now I'm hungry for both.

I had an issue with a box of Penn bullets a while back and sent an email about it. The owner promptly replied and sent another box on his nickel. Everyone turns out a lemon now and then (or mis-ships an order), but Penn stood behind its products and made me a a happy customer. That's what keeps good companies in business.

That just seems like a lot of money for plated, not jacketed bullets. To much in my opinion for a projectile that can not be used for a max load in the 357 Magnum or even a mid-range load in the 357 Maximum
Normally once I stockpile something I do not sell it, but quneur If you need more projectiles I have a couple thousand extra 125 grain real JSP, not plated, IMI 357 bullets on hand. I will give them to you at $10 per 50. If you want 200 or more, I will pay Priority Mail shipping.
IMI makes great projectiles. I have been using the 357 125s for many years now. I also use their 350 grain 50 caliber projectile in the 50AE. It was looking for sources for 50 caliber bullets to feed my Desert Eagle that I found them more than 15 years ago.
Use loading data for the Winchester 125JHP or Speer 125JHP and work your load up.

Thanks colt_saa for the generous offer. I have some Hornady XTP/FP on hand. I only bought these for target practice as these were 1/2 the price of Hornady. But with the price of primers, its expensive to shoot reloads. There is a Sports Authority nearby where I can purchase .357 factory ammo (for some reason everyone seems that store). So, I'm good. Thanks anyway.
BTW, I got an email from the owner saying the rest of my order was sent today with a tracking number and a $15 coupon.
