I haven't been to my "home of record" San Diego, CA in about 5 years. Is the bullet manufacturer in Mission Valley, behind the Porsche service center still open? My buddies want to get into reloading because they are spending a fortune on ammo. Thanks.

Didn't know there was one -- which Porsche service center?

Got a name?

Is it possible that it is or was the company that used the "Redline" name for cast bullets? I have some here and all they say is San Diego.

Yes they are REDLINE ballistics. Had my sister dig up some of my gear in San Diego and the boxes were Redline ballistics. They are still in business. Look up their site. I will be visiting them on my next block leave.

I have limited experience with their product but it is good.

Anyone have the info for Redline Ballistics in SD? I'd love to visit them and check out their cast boolits.

Phone: 619 280-9763 - Facsimile: 619 425-5648 - Email: am@redlineballistics.com - 6035 Fairmount Avenue, San Diego, CA 92120

If youi go, would you inform us of the $$? I have emailed them and have not gotten a response. Last time I was there over 7 years ago, it was quite a small shop and probably very limited in man power.

I called and got a response. 45ACP 230g RN hardcast (20 brinell) is $94/1000 + tax.

For that price, I would rather have moly coated or plated rounds for a few $ more.

I can get FMJ (not plated) for $130/1000

I'm with you on going elsewhere. I remember when they were the cheapest source around. Being local I didn't have to pay for shipping back then.
