Well, I probably should have linked to the specific bullets that are on sale instead of the search results. $20/500 = $40/1000 Which is an unusually good deal for Midway. I bought 2000 for $99 shipped.

$80/1000 is a great regular price, though.

Whatever. Just thought I'd pass it along.

I keep telling you guys!

I guess people know I am friends with David and therefore assume I am trying to help him out or even kiss his :censored: but I'm telling you. You WILL NOT beat his prices. Period. Even if you get close or match him, you gotta order and you are trading with people you don't know. David is one of our own. I don't even shop for prices anymore. Don't care. I know where the cheapest prices on the components I need can be had.

Carry on.

I've not found anything yet that David can't get if he doesn't already have it.

We all benefit from the vendors on this board who make this board possible. I'll support them any time I can.

Yes and Yes.

If you wanna do a group buy, lets get together with David and see what can HE get if enough of us get on board with a large quantity buy.

Personally I'd like to see a group buy for his 147g hollow point 9mm bullets he sells . Them things are the cat's meow!

I'd still be interested in a large group buy for lighter weights too though. A thousand or two for each person, a couple of dozen participants. If David could buy a pallet load of them......hmmmm

Interested anyone?

All I shoot in 9mm is the 147gr stuff I get fr David. I'd certainly go for a few thousand more JHPs. Count me in.

Whatcha using 'em for? I use them for my Glocks. 5.3g of AA#5. They run like a raped ape. Expansion is very good. I've dug them out of bowling pins and I have not found a single one that wasn't fully expanded.

I would be in for 1000 of the 147's. Really would prefer something a little lighter but this would be fun to play with . I've been trying to buy more from David but it is really hard for me to get to shows...

Just let me know, Mark

I carry 147gr Federal HSTs for defense and shoot suppressed a lot, so I don't want to train with 115gr or 124gr. Of all three, I like the recoil impulse on 147gr stuff a lot better.

I've been workin through a bunch of 147gr EFMJs pulls I got from David. They expand pretty impressively.

The ones I buy from him he says are plated. They sure don't act like any plating I ever saw. It's the thickest I've seen on a bullet.

I think the Expanding FMJs are made by Federal. I like them.

I've shot thousands of his Ranier plated 147s. I shoot them mostly through a Glock 19 with a Lone Wolf barrel. I load over AA#7 to get the additional flash suppressant.

It is a good price on the frangible bullets at midway. The description says you have to be careful of crimp, pull a few bullets after setting the crimp to make sure you didn't crack the sintered-powder bullets. Not a deal-breaker for a fella with good sense, but an idiot needs as idiot-proof components possible so maybe I won't try em at this time. :) If the bullets can crack from too much crimp, could they be likely to crack from other kinds of rough handling?

I'd like to buy from David if he ever comes to Chatt. I don't hardly ever go anywhere out of town.

Never loaded anything except 124gn in 9mm. Ought to try 147gn or something new one of these days, just because. I've loaded lots of Rainier 124gn bullets and liked em.

I have some Sinterfire .30 cal frangibles. I loaded a handful and ran them through a Mini-30 with no problems. I didn't crimp them, neck-tension only. I think the compression of crimping probably could crack them, but not simply rough handling.

Absolutely. Not in the 9mm, though. I'm stocked on them now.

For the right price, I'd be interested in some .30 cal bullets in the 90gr to 150gr range. Preferably frangible for steel targets, but I'd take FMJ, too. Also some frangibles in .224, 55 to 77 gr.

Sorry. I didn't mean to offend anyone by pointing out that Midway had 9mm bullets for 5 cents apiece shipped. Next time I see a good deal from anyone but David, I'll keep it to myself.

Dude? :shrug: Nobody took that offensive? I was just pointing out the best deal to be had. Everything is cool :tough:

Yeah, we're good. Sorry for the snarkiness in the last post. My point was the the Midway deal was the best I've seen. $40/k is better than $80/k.

I got an awesome deal on Tula primers from David's table at the last show that I went to. He has good prices. But when I find a screaming deal from Midway, with whom I've spent thousands of dollars over the years, I'll have to take advantage.

Like I said above, if he can get together a really good deal on .224 (frangible) and/or .308 bullets, I'd love to get in on it.

It is, but it'd be hard to get a group together for 90g or 100g frangibles. I wouldn't mind trying some but I doubt I'd switch from 147gHP.

Would be good for in the house though.

Apparently so. I got them strictly for plinking and training purposes, which is what I think they're meant for. Especially on steel targets. They eliminate dangerous splatter. I watched a video of someone running some Sinterfire (same bullets as the Remington, maybe?) rounds through an MP5 at a steel target at near contact distance. They just turn to dust when they hit.

For defense, I'll stick with JHP. But I won't need thousands of them. I hope not, anyway.

Edit: I couldn't find the MP5 video, but here is a pistol shooting at steel with sintered metal bullets.

Thanks Clod Stomper

Probably a careful guy could put a little crimp on em. On such a light bullet, for light target loads, most likely in 9mm no crimp at all would work. Not that I know anything about it. I usually like to put enough crimp to avoid setback. I usually test the crimp by setting first the barest visually-detectable crimp, then push a round against the workbench and if it sets back too easy, increase the crimp a little until it won't easily set back. Trying to set the crimp "no more or less than necessary". But with a light bullet and light target load maybe an occasional setback wouldn't be a safety hazard.

Agreed, $40 per K in 9mm bullets is cheaper than I've seen in many years.
