I wanted to try some plated bullets and I decided to get some from X-Treme Bullets, based largely upon impressions and opinions voiced on this forum. It was a bonus that they had a special that allowed me to get 180 gr round shoulder flat nose .40 S&W bullets for 7% off, and with no extra for shipping.
I've heard so much about bullet packages being damaged in shipment to the point of loss that I was a little anxious as to the condition in which mine would arrive.
The packages arrived via UPS yesterday and I was really impressed with the packaging. It was boxes within a box within a box. The individual bullet boxes were taped closed. Those boxes were inside a larger box. That box was inside another box and had such a snug fit that friction made it difficult to get them apart when opening. The outer box was taped very securely. It was apparent that all the boxes were specialized to fit tightly enough inside one another that they reinforce the overall package.
Now that they made it safely to me, I'm looking forward to working up the loads.
