I called Midway the other day to buy some bullets. They were selling the neat, little 60 gr., .257 dia. FP's for a buck off the usual price. I needed some 120 gr. Nosler BT's as well. As usual, they had them. But when it came to shipping, the cheapest they could do was "overnight" at over $10 ! Just for three little boxes of bullets.
So, where's a better place to order bullets ? E

I price alot of the online places before I actually order, but, I always seem to come back to Graf & Sons. Unless someone is having an awesome sale, they always seem to be cheaper. Plus, I like the shipping being included in their pricing. www.grafs.com

I buy a bunch from both of them too.
Midway is more akin to Cabela's,in that their Customer Service is unmatched,IMHO.
Logistics here,can be a bitch.
Cabela's and Midway are tough to beat,on the average.....................

Emericus,
Give Natchez Shooters Supply a try. I do several thousand dollars worth of business with them every year and have always been very pleased.
RS
P.S. natchezss.com, I think. I always order over the phone.

There's no such thing as "3 little boxes of bullets" Do you know what the total weight is for bullets? Well, it depends on the grains of course, but they are not light in any case. There are shipping options, sounds like they didn't spell them out for you.
I've bought from everybody listed here so far and it's all situational as to who's cheapest for what on any given day. But, I always start with Midway...

I actually like Midway because they do give you shipping options. I just ordered a box of bullets and some dies and they shipped it standard UPS for around $10. Not sure why they would only give you the option of overnight?

I wonder if there are any employees from any of these places that are members of the campfire?
Just wondering, might even influence where I bought from in the future.

Mid-South Shooters Supply-Same day shipping for sure.
Cabelas, Midway, Grafs, Sinclair are the ones I use the most.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!

10 bucks is a great price for any guaranteed overnight shipping, unless it'll get there overnight anyway.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Ere..,
Have ordered from every source mentioned. All were good. Midway seems to now be more expensive than just about everyone.... but they do have it if you need it.

I tried to order .22 Sierra 52 grain last week and they were out and would not back-order! Finally ordered from Cabelas--- for about 50% more. I have moved Midway over to my other list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Jim

Midway's prices are quite good and I usually buy enough stuff that $4 or so more in shipping costs is far offset by the cheaper product. At one time I used Midsouth for a lot of things but they have been $3 or $4 more on just about everything I have looked at lately.
I would buy some stuff from Natchess, but they will not ship to Tennessee, Georgia or Alabama?!?
