62 grain Lake City bullets

[U.S. Patriot]

I have had no luck finding anyone that sells them online. Anyone know of a good online retailer?

I haven't seen anyplace selling them. The last time I bought any was when you could still buy and sell components on Ebay, and I scored 5k of pulled SS109's at a reasonable price, but I am down to a couple hundred. I am in the same boat.

Might try Pats reloading. he shows 62 gr FMJ M855. I don't know if they're Lake City though.

Gunbroker has 2 listings for Lake City 62gr.

Thanks MSD, I'll send them an email. My AR really likes Lake City bullets.

I've used these pull-downs with good success in the past. The machine collet marks are visible on some of the bullets, and the painted "green tip" is worn off of others, but they seem to still perform just fine.

I am curious why the emphasis on the LC 62 grain? I mean, it is a good bullet, but certainly not a great bullet. There are plenty of great commercial bullets are on the market too.

Just curious....

Out of the different brands I have fired out of my M4, Lake City has been the most accurate and dependable.

I've bought a bunch off this company, all prices are shipped. I mainly buy 30 cal bullets so I'm not sure if thats a good price at 88$ shipped per k.

You might try hi tech ammo also. I get alot of my pull downs from them. Cheaper than Pats reloading

i am guessing he is reffering to rocky mountain reloading.

this is were i get mine from. last time i ordered this year i got 6k of them for 403 shipped. they have gone up some in the last few months. air pulled and it is only missing the green paint really. they even gave me a free 30 cal can that the bullets came in.

That's where I shop too for 62 gr green tip and 220 gr 308. RMR prices can't be beat! Right now he's offering 10% off until the end of November just add "bullets" in the coupon at checkout.

I really like the Hi-tech bullets, although I buy the air pulled, 'no-marks' versions. I'm headed back out there on Wednesday, so if you want some, let me know before I go. I'll save you the shipping.

I'm doing pretty good at the moment, but thanks for the offer! Ordered 1k last year and have about 500 left. I don't shoot them as much as the 55gr for plinking.

they always carry the air pulled? I get on their website and see they're out of stock alot of times.

I prefer the air pulled, but since they're hard to get at times, I have to settle for the collet pulled.

I assume they do, but couldn't say for sure.

You ever tried the collet pulled ones? I got in 2k about a month ago (out of air pulled) and really they weren't too bad.
