Just wondering where everyone is getting bullets from these days. Looking mainly for lead bullets, but if you've got a really good deal that's not lead you want to brag about feel free.

Lookin for deals.

I shoot Bear Creek bullets. They're good bullets and as cheap as any lead bullets out there, just less messy.

Funny thing about this. I was told to try Black Bullets International. Some said they were better than Bear Creek. Well they are good, but if I hold them up to the light, I can't for the life of me tell the difference between the two! (LCN 180gr) Bpth good, and accurate, but for the money and availability, I'll shoot BC. I still have to clean the barrel just as much. (Probably mre than I need, but that's me) You won't be disappointed with either.

Ditto to that.

And I have a buddy who is a dealership mechanic. We have a deal worked out where he brings me say 100 pounds in wheel weights and I give him back about 50 pounds in birdshot. I made my own birdshot maker from scratch. He and his girlfriend are into shooting trap. So the other 50 pounds in wheelweights...err...ingots... I get to keep for myself and cast whatever out of them.

I am working on making my own lube concoction too. I am trying to become as independent as possible as far as anything reloading component-wise goes.
