where to buy cheap lead bullets

[Guest leatherneck]

Looking to save where I can. Until I can start casting myself. Looking for 9mm and 40's???

Missouri Bullet Company.

Even though they are "lubed" make sure to lube them again with Lee Alox. I have shot thousands of Missouri's bullets and have always had a problem with leading. On a tip from Caster I decided to lube them with Alox. Since then my leading is minimal if at all.

and a those prices, if you buy them in quantity to absorb the shipping costs, casting is not going to be that much less. Its realy hard to beat 500 rounds for $30 or so. Not sure what people pay for their wheel weights or other scrap lead, but $4 per pound with all the work done for you is pretty reasonable.

I get my lead for free. I just asked a few shops to save it for me and I get plenty. Some shops that recycle will even sell their lead if you offer more than scrap price.

Even if you have to buy it you shouldn't be paying more than scrap which is .35 for CLEAN lead, not wheel weights. Even at clean scrap prices $35 for 5,000 9mm bullets is a deal. You can get 3,000 230 grain 45 bullets out of the same 100 pounds.

Molds only cost $25 and last for thousands of rounds. And with a $5 cooking pot and a dipper you have everything you need to get started. You will need to do it in a well ventilated area and a mask isn't a bad idea. But for under $50 you can be casting.

Also, your labor is free unless you are taking off work to cast.

Their bullets are packed 500 per box. Prices start about $25 and up. Shipping is $15.

Add to cart and see how many boxes can be shipped for that 15.

The cast boolits that David [DLM] sells at the gunshow are hard to beat as well. Can't remember the maker, but I've tried a few with good results.

How quick do they usually ship? Thinking about trying some of their boolits.

The last I ordered, 6 boxes of 500 9m 124 gr rn. I got a message, give us a few days to get your order together. They shipped 2 days later. 4 days in the mail. I feel it was fast shipping. I warned my post lady, I knew it would be heavy. She pulled up to the door, honked her horn and I met her at her van.

I've shot 1 1/2 box of 357 158 gr swc and 1/2 box of the 9m. Getting ready to order some 40 sw.

I've heard good things about Penn Bullets, although they may not be the cheapest. Thy do have interesting write ups for each caliber and bullet.
