[Hondo 60]

Ordered 500 coated bullets from Acme Bullet Co.
http://www.acmebullet.com/bullets-reloading-brass/9MM-Lead-Cast-Reloading-Bullets?product_id=424
They showed up at my door in a fancy wooden box.

But the weird thing is, they also had a much smaller wooden box too.
With some candy in it!
Butterscotch buttons, Tootsie Rolls & Root Beer barrels.

The bullets are a .356" 9mm 124 RN-NLG non-lube groove bullet.
Ought to be interesting and will cure my sweet tooth to boot.


Oops posted in the wrong area. Could a mod move this to the Handloading & Reloading area please.

When I worked for a pipe organ company, we had one vendor who always included some manner of candy with their shipments. They always sent enough for the whole shop (about 50 people). You have to love companies like that. Personal touches.

My first purchase of cast lead bullets was from Beartooth Bullets (before I started casting). I got exactly what I ordered, and a very good quality bullet, and included in the shipment was a small Gideon's Bible, neatly wrapped in shiny Christmas paper. I was very impressed and now, if I buy any cast bullets, I buy from Beartooth...

You didn't say what flavor the bullets were coated with.

For me and my powder coating cherry has been the best... But then again my 45 ACP, 1911 likes blueberry...
