You betcha. I've posted about their product on here two or three times too. Best prices I've found on hard cast lead. The only thing about them is that the selection is limited. The 240gr LSWC is the only 44 cal they offer. The next best price I have seen is bulletsdirect.com and they have a little better variety. With shipping 2000 of their 200gr LRN are 8.1 cents apiece and 2000 of their 225gr LRN are 8.7 cents each.
But even at their prices, 10k bullets is going to set me back a pretty penny.
I just did an inventory and I've got around 38 pounds of various powders, 15k of small pistol primers and almost 11k of large pistol primers, Unfortunately I only have 7k worth of 9mm projectiles, 4k worth of 38/357 projectiles (and another 1500 on the way), and 3k worth of 44cal projectiles.
That is why I say I still need about another 10k-11k worth of bullets - though actually I guess I only need another 8.5k-9.5k since I have that order of 1500 on the way. But still, even 8500 bullets at 7.7 cents apiece is going to be right at 650 bucks.....
I'm trying to budget around 100 bucks a month on reloading supplies so that when I retire and have more time and less money I can still reload and shoot to my heart's content and not worry about the cost.
