I don't want HP, looking for a hunting bullet Not all HPs are varmint bullets. There are some excellent HP big game Bullets. There sure are!

I just bought a couple of boxes of 165gr .308 blems from SPS, first I’ve seen for a while, though I don’t check often. After I ordered, I checked and found firsts elsewhere for a bit more money, but after shipping I still saved $8, $.08 apiece, and the blems have always shot just fine.
I load those and Accubonds of the same weight interchangeably in the .308, whichever I have.
There are very few if any gaps in my bullet pile now. Guess I need to create some…..
What fresh Hell is this?

There is no "best" place online to my knowledge, I typically shop around at Midway, Midsouth, Grafs, Natchez and a couple of others.
The fast way is to use ammoseek.com or wikiarms.com which will check multiple sites in seconds.

What he said. If you aren’t shopping around for pretty much everything, you’re losing out and often paying too much.
His list is the same one I use. Local shops are mostly a waste of time as there are just too many bullets out there for them to keep up.

Midsouth or Powder Valley. Midway is too high priced for me.
Good Luck,

If you're looking for specific bullets, put an ad in the classifieds for what you're looking for and you'll usually get offers.

Mid South Shooters Supply gets most of my business.
Midway the rest. Yep. GR This and powder valley. When I’m not buying locally. Well, sans midway. Don’t like those guys much.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Is Swift still producing A-Frame bullets? I’ve occasionally looked over the past year and have not seen any available in either .277, .284 or .308.

You’ll get an email notification when the item is back in stock. They do not bombard you with a ton of emails. Just notify you when the specific item you want is in stock.

MidwayUSA, Midsouth, and Grafs are the three I’ve used most.
Nosler’s Shooter’s Pro Shop has also been great.

Add RavenRocksPrecisions.com to the list of suppliers. Just used for the first time and was quick and not outrageously priced.

I am within an hour driving s distance of either midway or graf. They get most of my business unless I’m buying Nosler, then it is SPS. Making a run into St Louis today to hit one of mh favorite shops. Looking for a specific powder and brass.

Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri?? I always find great deals locally. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dA2IWCt.jpg) These are some I bought yesterday. Also with a 10% discount at this store in July. IF I buy online, it is mainly through Midsouth.

I've gotten great deals both locally and occasionally a really good deal shows up online. Midway I've used quite a bit for bullets over the yrs when they're cheap and offering free shipping.
The bulk of my stuff came from anytime I ran across a good deal locally. I've never purchased powder or primers online. Bullets is wherever I find a deal, local or online. 2 mo's ago I got a whole stash of 30 cal. Sierra 150gr pro-hunter's from a sale they were running at Optics Planet. Never purchased from them before but they were CHEAP so I went all in. $22.75 a box. Total cost was $24.11 per box tax included, to my door. Free shipping.
That was cheaper by quite a bit on those then pre-pandemic or pre-biden. I see Optics Planet now has that same bullet priced at $45.49.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

This is a wonderful place to live, but we haven’t had a large outdoor store nearby since Gander shut down, and they had gone sour long before that when they were bought out. A Sprtsmans Warehouse just opened up in Winchester and I’ll check it out soon, but mostly for shotshells as I have oodles and oodles of bullets, and ones I use, not just bargains purchased because they were cheap. Coupla months ago I bought 800 Speer 40 and 46gr .224s for an average of $.11 a pop with free shipping from the comfort of my power-reclining sofa, saving me time, gas, and cash. Buying online also allows me to keep an eye on my Chinese gardener to be certain she’s not goofing off.
