They are one of very few outfits that will ship primers and powder on one $20 HAZ MAT fee. It amortizes out real fast if you get friends together and each order e.g. 5,000 primers and a couple 5-lb jugs of powder.

Many people who shoot the 1911 like 185 grain or 200 grain lead semi wadcutters - the Bullseye shooters use these a lot. Some pistols will not feed them but for most it is not a problem.

The USPS has a flat-rate box that allows shipping something like 4,000 200g lswc bullets for $8.10 and Powder Valley uses it. You will still wind up paying on the close order of $50 per thousand I think. Oh - here it is: BUS45SWC2001000 BUSHWHACKER 45 200 SWC - Per 1000 $46.25

Metals prices make me sick - there was a guy in Halletsville (Lone Star Bullet Co.) who used to sell them for $36 / 1000 if you bought 10,000 (sounds like a lot, but get two friends together and it is not a lot).

OTOH save all your brass, even .22 brass. If it is no good to reload, it is still good to sell to the metal recycler, and you leave the range clean and nice. Make the best of outrageous metals prices.

I hope this helps.
