Zero bullets could be a good group buy, I wonder if people on here have bought a pallet?!?

I second Bayou and GT Bullets Ive had great results with both.
Also I've found some amazing people on gunbroker and armslist.. you find the right person that makes, sells, and deals with nothing but bullets you won't beat them. 4cent9mm 10cent30cal The list goes on and on, people can always tell you their opinion on what has or hasn't worked for them and what's a good deal and what's not.. surely buying in bulk will save you but sometimes I have to stop and ask myself "Am I really going to load and shoot 5k+ of a certain bullet..?" I'm not married to any one of my guns and I figure they shouldn't be married to any one load. Sure I have pet loads, but for the most part I keep it diverse to save money, build experience reloading, and most importantly shooting. Happy, Safe, & Financially Viable Reloading to you :)
 
Cheapest..... summers and Brazos.

Brazos is fairly new and prices all their bullets the same. They ship bullets.in 15lb air sealed.bags at $42. Buy 4 bags( max in a medium usps priority box).and you get free shipping.. now here is the kicker, the $42 is for Either std lubed bullets or Hi-Tek coated.. same price. Their bullets are marketed to the bullseye pistol crowd and are excellent as are summers..they do the best hi-tek coating I've seen.

Best bullets I've used. Magnus, zero, brazos
 
Where do you fellas buy your bullets?
I'm looking for 200grn RNFP for 45 Colt mainly but also load 9mm, 45acp, 223 rem. and fixin to start loading 357mag.
I've been getting lead bullets from Cheaper Than Dirt but I'm sure there's a better deal out there somewhere. I've checked several places but shipping is steep at most of them.
Any ideas or anything to help would be appreciated.
If buying lead I be more concerned with bullet hardness over cost. The coated bullets are the way to go. no lube, a lot less smoke and no lead fowling.

https://www.acmebullet.com/ use promo code 54730 and get an additional 10% off. The code was still valid this morning when I ordered. And they ship in a wooden box, unlike some companies that put the onus on the buyer if the box busts open in shipping.

Thanks for the info, I just ordered 500 of the 200grn hard cast bullets to try out. The discount code worked fine for me. Appreciate it!

Good deal, glad I could help. ACME is also one of the few who advertise their bullet hardness and formula percentage. I thing the price is fair for the quantity and hardness of bullet. And from what I see the lead and coated prices are the same. I'm sure its easier to coat then to size and lube each individual bullet.
 
Actually just the opposite. Much more labor in coating them.. they automate normal lubing.
Yes I know the lead process, I spent many an hour in the facility where Bulls Eye Bullets were made. Watching those pneumatic operated lubber's was very interesting. Beat the hell out of my Lyman with the Midway hotplate.

I have not seen the large batch industrial process for coating bullets, although I have shot ton of Black Bullets International bullets.

They also have great service and I can order on Wednesday and have Saturday or Monday. I’m waiting on the mailman today.
