    I've seen 2-3 requests for 62gr and 1 request for 55gr, I can check if mixed is doable.
    1/2 and 1/2? If we get enough that want the 55gr. The 55gr is more commonly listed
    in the catalogs it seems, but I have not noticed a markup for the 62gr vs. 55. Presumably
    we can get them for the same prices.

    Correct! NEW, Complete ammo. Brass casings.


    However, I have seen premium brass casings for 28 cents each :rolleyes:
    Getting down around 30 cents for loaded ammo might be a bit much to ask.


    :ingo:

    $.28 for a casing hardly seems worth re-loading. This is why I am open to a buy of 1000 rounds. Then I will have some brass to load.:)

    Wait...are we talking about brass cases, or .... actual ammo. Confoozed.

    If you drive in from Misery at least I am on the Illinoise State Line! lol
    About as central as it gets for anyone West of here.


    As for shipping, IDK how a non-dealer would ship to another non-dealer.
    Is that possible?
    We either need drop-shipping from the mfg. or a pick up point. Secondary
    shipping kind of defeats the purpose, adding cost. Might make or break the
    GP if too many need secondary shipping. No USPS, I have been told. :dunno:

    I would take a thousand if it was around $300-$320.

    64 Gr preferred.

    I live in the SE part of the state but get over on that side often, so I could easily pick up.

    I can drive to Terre Haute to pick up. I would even be willing to pick up other orders. I live in Lafayette and work in Crawfordsville.

    Should not need an FFL BUT if we do, I can get one who'll do it for Free but pick up would then be in Indy. I can transfer from Terre Haute area to Indy or Indy to Terre Haute if need be. My order is price dependent BUT I can see multiple cases if the price is right. While dreaming, I'd be in for .308 or 7.62X51

    I have around 36+ interested parties, and over 40,000 rounds.
    So I'm thinking 50K.

    The Bad News: It seems the price of the Lake City 1K box lately went up to $660
    which is more than double what we want here. @ cheaperthandirt DOT com

    I'm not even going to give them the benefit of a free link here :xmad:


    I know we are going to go mfg Direct, but that is a bad sign IMO.
