Best price found for .308 FMJ 145-150gr Bullets

Originally started on the old Forum by azredhawk:

Could we have a sticky in here for folks to report the best price they've found on rifle fodder for .308?  I'm sure someone else can start a separate thread for .223 or .311 diameters as well if demand is there.

Best I've found so far, is:

Berry's mfg  www.berrysmfg.com
500x 150gr FMJ collet pulled, $35.

Barlett Reloaders www.gibrass.com
1000x 152gr M2 ball FMJ collet pulled, $70.

Please post if you can beat these prices anywhere on the net...

147 FMJ-BT, $64.99/K  No Pull Marks , some dark tips from the ammo getting damp, will tumble up nice.

These guys are also you last chance to get surplus powder in bulk.

Not always the best price, and sometimes out of stock, but I've had good luck with Widener's.

Here is the bullet area. http://www.wideners.com/itemview.cfm?dir=278|281

The Mil Spec bullets should be new, not pulled. The Surplus should have M80 pulled bullets for $62/1000, but show currently out. I've had good luck with the M80 pulled from this source.

Hitech used to have #1 grade pulled 7.62Nato bullets for 147/3000.  I don't know what they have right now, because I think the site's down.  It's worth checking periodically though.

As of last week Hi-Tech did not have any .22 or .30 cal bullets

Well, here is how things have changed. I just bought some M80 pulls on Gunbroker for $120/K shipped. I also recently got some new Winchester M80 projectiles for $135/K and was happy to get them. So what's that, a 100% increase in less than a year?

Pat's Reloading is still only game in town for surplus powder. They have WC846 for $95/8# in bulk.

Just an update based on my weekend research, in case anyone is keeping track:

Best price I can find, as of 8/15/09:

Pat's Reloading (http://www.patsreloading.com/patsrel/whatsnew.htm)
147 FMJ-BT(Resized from 762-54) @ $95/1000 ($0.095/round)

Don't hold your breath, though.  He said stocks are good, but he has a 6-12 week backlog.  He's currently out of WC846, but expects to get more in.

Others we've mentioned in the past:

Widneners (http://www.wideners.com/itemview.cfm?dir=278|281|727)
Mil surplus 145gr FMJBT w/c @ $80/500 ($0.160/round)

They also seem to have the best prices for heavier bullets (168gr & 175 gr @ .18 & .19 a round, respectively)

Powder Valley (http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/)
Wincester 147 FMJ / C / BT @ $179/1k ($0.179/round)

Best deal I could find on Gun Broker
Winchester 147 Gr FMC JB @ $530/2860 ($0.185/round)

Berry's Manufacturing is out of stock

Hi-Tech is out of stock

Bartlett is out of stock, doesn't expect to get any more
