We normally have a small inventory of brass and various varmint bullets available for the small calibers. We aren't always the cheapest, however we try to keep our prices competitive and our shipping rate is one of the best around at a$9 flat rate. Let me know if there is anything special you are looking for and i can quote you a price.

Thanks,

Brad

Brad I know the 32 gr Vmax are flat but the 40 gr Vmax are boat tail. Do they just make the Zmax in 32 gr?

Not Brad, but the z-max is a 32 grainer. Bill K

Thanks,

I usually do not shoot anything other than 50-55 grain in my 223 or 22-250, but have read some articles, of late, on 40 grainers in them. Just might have to give those z-max a try.. I like the sick yellow tip.. :roll: Bill K :)

Bill - In the 223 I quit shooting 55's many years ago, now just using them in my Swift, but use the 50's for my 223 Ackley. But if you want to give your 223 a new life, do give the 40gr poly-tipped bullets a whirl. Out to 400 yards, they act like a 204R on squirrels, fast and flat. My pet load for all my 223's uses H335 with the Nosler 40gr BT right at 3,780 fps. Wicked accurate AND fast.....amazing performance on ground squirrels. :eek:

I thought about giving them a try, after I read a article recently, about the 40's in the 22 caliber. And now that Brad is tempting me with the z-max (of course Nosler's are super also) I guess I will just be forced to do so. Thank you for the info Rick. Bill K
