Stuff is starting to come back
Is it free shipping?
The last 2 orders I got from there I had to pay for shipping.
Yes. They charge for shipping and tax. Ends up being like $0.14 a piece. Ridiculous money for 115 plated bullets.
Things are starting to come back, but the prices continue to rise. Not a comment on whether the price increase is justified or not. Just an observation.

Xtreme is one of the few that hasn’t had a price increase that I have noticed. I remember when a k of berrys plated 115 were 89 bucks. They are out of stock everywhere. I bought several thousand of Everglades bullets in February of 2020, for 129 a thousand. That same thousand is 180 bucks now. I will never order from them again. Their 147’s have increased times 4 from last year.
Less than 90.00 for me
Black Bullet International. Less than like 7 cents shipped and stupid fast shipping.
After more than a decade of loading FMJ’s and JHPs I’m back to coated lead for for bulk practice ammo. The cost and availability of the above projectiles has gotten to be to much and too little respectively.
Doing load development right now on BBI 125s. They were cheap and shipped fast. To my do in less than five days via UPS.
Shot lead when I first started reloading. Then tried coated lead. Then tried plated. Was never happy with any of them. At the time both the coated lead and lead were dirty and smokey. And the plated were crap for accuracy. FMJs and JHPs were only fractions of a penny more when you ordered in bulk and were leaps and bounds ahead of the other projectiles.
Recently switched to Clean Shot and I think maybe my issues with coated lead were largely due to powder selection. With clean shot the BBIs are not smokey or dirty and are laser beam accurate. I’m sure I’m better at reloading too after more than a decade of experience.
Still need JHPs for my open gun, but I’m sold on coated bullets for the time time being, unless FMJ and JHP prices come back down to competitive levels, which I don’t see happening any time soon.
I’ve got orders in with Precision Bullets, The Blue Bullet, and DG Bullets right. Gonna try em all.
