I never understood why I would want to pay more for Ranier bullets when they can only be loaded the same as lead bullets but cost more?
Sometimes you cant shoot lead, as in the case of a glock.

I'm a happy customer of MidwayUSA. They were a big relief on the pocketbook when I discovered them. I had been buying gunsmithing tools and supplies from Brownell's at much higher costs than Midway. I think Brownell's only lowered their prices and EXTREME shipping fees because of competion from Midway.
Of late my problem with trying to order from Midway is I want to order three or four things and they are out of stock on one or more. If you B/O them, you get charged for shipping again.Then i always hear great things about others such as grafs because of their "free" shipping. I like to put together an entire order and then compare total prices. Midway was cheaper for me both times I have placed an order.
I also am seeing more and more indoor ranges banning lead bullets.ljnowell said:Sometimes you cant shoot lead, as in the case of a glock.pbearperry said:I never understood why I would want to pay more for Ranier bullets when they can only be loaded the same as lead bullets but cost more?
I shop...
I compare.....
and I order....
More times than not, Midway gets my order
and your lucky to find 1 or 2 things out of 10 in stock.
I'm fed up with everything being out of stock.
"†MidwayUSA attempts to keep our costs as low as possible so we can give our Customers the best pricing in the industry. Since we will accept any size order, there is a Special Handling Charge of $3.00 for all retail product orders under $25.00 and $4.00 for all dealer product orders under $40.00 to offset the additional costs associated with handling orders under these amounts."
Saw in the latest flyer Rem bulk bag 9mm 115 FMJ's $14.99/100, 124 FMJ $15.79/100... INSANE! These prices are more than boxed Hornady XTP's.
You guys can find me hanging out with the Cast Boolits guys. I'm gonna cast my own.
jjohnson Oh, MAN, you pegged my "BS Meter!"
You nailed several of my pet peeves in the entirety of shootingdom.
Midway's being out of stock and nailing you for shipping when they get the one widget that you ordered with a pallet of something else, so you pay twice
Ranier being so far out of line (as, compared to Berry's or honest-to-God jacketed ammo from PRVI, MagTech, or IMI) that I refuse to pay the highway robbery prices for their products
And.... What? PRICE increases when we know that prices for lead, copper, and other constituents of bullet manufacture have tanked along with the economy?
You gotta be kidding me.
I am NOT going to bail out Midway or Ranier. I don't have anything left after bailing out the banks, insurance companies, and auto manufacturers.
