Factory seconds bullets. I bought some in August using e-bay and found out that nothing wrong with the "seconds". No marks no scratches nothing. My good luck?
Now after e-bay has stopped selling bullets I found out that guy opened online shop.

I bought more. The same quality.
It's better (cheap) to buy 2x4 pounds then 1x8.

Thanks for the website:

Unless there is a major difference though I prefer to support a Canadian dealer. Preferably a sponsor of CGN.

Maybe one of these sponsors can get some of these and sell them in Canada.
 
US sellers now send bullets out of US. The only rule is a "rule of a hundred bucks". Up to 100 US$ seller doesn’t need an export permit.
I ordered Dec 6th and I've got it today.

To colinjw: I'd like to support Canadian dealler, but when local price is up to 75% higher I'd prefer to feed children of American seller and MY OWN children.
Regards.

Do they just started to ship outside US? I contacted them a couple of month ago and nope, not shipping to Canada.

I can see now that they do on their website, thanks, for the info
 
I dunno. $32 US for 100 .224 60gr Noslers???

LeBaron has them for $25.63/100 in the catalogue.

That's $6 per 100 difference.

So you could buy 300 rounds from Reloading Seconds for $96 + $11 S&H and wait how long to clear the border?
Or buy 300 (non second) rounds from LeBaron & a membership for the just over $100 (save 7%) and about $11 shipping from Mississauga to almost anywhere in S-W Ontario in 3 days. (No export limits means no limits on the order size from Canada to Canada)

Where is the savings?
 
In the past, Nosler would not sell "seconds" to Canada. I looked into it when I was importing them and they refused to sell them to me. Unless their policies have changed, they won't be sold by retailers here.

LeBaron sells them in boxes of 50 NOT 100 so your math is way off.

Your 300 60 grain Partitions would cost $154.00 from Lebaron or a full 61% MORE than ordering from Reloading Seconds. If you want to piss 60 bucks away fly at it.

I too have bought off this guy when he was selling on eBay and his shipments have always arrived in less than 10 days.

So what makes them seconds? Accubonds, that don't have the core bonded to the jacket? Things like that would be my biggest concern.

Nosler claims they are just blemished and that functionally they are every bit as good as firsts. Most of the ones I have bought have been perfect as rather than seconds they were over-runs for factory ammunition. (The overrun bullets have canelure groves.)
 
OK, I don't know "hunting" bullets that well but is there not a Hornady or Winchester bullet that is similar? Higginson Powders in Ontario does seem to have reasonable prices on these. Just looking now and there is nothing over $19/box for .224 calibre.

Just a thought,

No, the only .22 calibre bullets that perform in the same manner as the 60 grain Partition are the Barnes "X" bullets and the Scirocco. The Scirocco however is too long to stabilize in the 1 in 14 twist barrels found on many 22 calibre rifles.

While many guys use these bullets on deer with good results I find the 60 grain Partition to be just about perfect for shooting wolves with a 22-250. (They work prety good on coyotes too if you are looking to keep the hides.)

Now. Please take a look at this page link directly from the lebaron's online catalogue.
http://www.lebaron.ca/pdf_fall_07/hunting/nosler.pdf

.22 Caliber – .224” Diameter
CODE WEIGHT STYLE QTY
39510 60 Gr. Ballistic Tip 100 $25.63
39522 50 Gr. Ballistic Tip 100 $25.63
39526 55 Gr. Ballistic Tip 100 $25.63

Specifically says QTY 100, not 50 as you say. So my math is sound.

Mind you I only plink with my .223 and have buy from gun shows and auctions so not like I pay anything over $0.15 a bullet tip anyways.
 
Jarlath, Partitions are usually packaged in boxes of 50 and Ballistic Tips in boxes of 100 so 'Boos math is correct.

I have purchased Nosler seconds before and could not find any difference visually, on the scale, or on the range between the "seconds" and the "firsts" However, I only used them as a cheap practice alternative and used the firsts for my hunting loads as I didn't want to take a chance on field performance.

I missed that the 60gr .224 offered on Reloading Seconds are partitions, I only noticed Ballistic tip and the two weights.

I would buy them and pretty much every other caliber and style from Reloading Seconds. (If only I needed more tips, which I don't).

Fair enough. Like I said I don't know hunting bullets! Yet! :p

Little OT but don't most provinces require a larger calibre (diameter) than .22 for deer?

Bullet tip? Is that the plastic piece on the end of the bullet? :p Bullet tip... that's funny! Most of us call them bullets, projectiles or even boolits. :eek: When ready to fire fully assembled they are cartridges or rounds. Bullet + brass case + primer + powder = 1 cartridge. :D

Jarlath, if you are reloading only for "plinking" I would recommend getting your bullets from Higginsons. Get some Hornady 55 gr. FMJ for $8/100. Much cheaper than hunting bullets. I like them anyways.
