What kind of bullets are you looking for?
Sages is running a deal on Hornady 55gr today.

DEFINITELY recommend Sages Reloading. Wes is awesome and that is a smokin deal he has on those Hornadys https://sagesreloadingsupply.com/Only place I have seen any cheaper is RMR for their pulled bullets. As Steve mentions, Lot depends on your intended use. Plinking fodder the rmr are nice, but have to ship in. Wes is local so you are supporting a local small guy, can also can pickup if willing to drive, but also pay tax.

Thanks guys, think I'll be getting the .224 62gr Hornady FMJ-BT W/Cannelure (1000CT) PRE-PACKAGED SPECIAL. Im not looking for crazy accuracy, but do want reasonably consistency. I have 8lb of alliant 2520 that I'll be using.

I have bought lots of processed brass and bullets from Sage in the past, great stuff. Just going there in person you learn a lot.
What are your hours? I have some empty powder cans to bring in and brass to recycle.

We moved to our new home/shop, and I am here pretty much all the time. Shoot me a PM if you like and we can set up a time if you like jackass wrote: I have bought lots of processed brass and bullets from Sage in the past, great stuff. Just going there in person you learn a lot.

I have bought from Wes but casting for full power 5.56 really is not that hard. Originally I thought that I would have to go to zinc but I am using my usual hard cast and powder coating using Harbor Freight Red and then sized and gas checked and having no leading problems at all in two different brand ARs. My powder coated hard casts cut holes in the 1/8 inch steel plate spinners that I weld up just as easily as the Hornady that I bought from Wes.

Sages reloading supply is now my go-to. Great company!
