Gents: Just getting into reloading for my 40 S&W as well as my [2] buds who also shoot this caliber.Where is the best place to buy bulk pistol bullets?? say in lots of 1000.if i buy from Cabelas or WSS here in the peg i will be broke before i get started.i currently only have a RCBS Rock chucker single stage press so i will be looking for a dillon 550 or 650 system,also where is a good place to buy new brass
 
By the time you buy new factory brass, powder, primers,bullets, you will be cheaper to buy factory rounds till you accumulate enough brass, and then start loading. You should be able to get tons of once fired brass pretty cheap. The big thing with componant bullets is that they are heavy and shipping can add a significant amount to your over all cost (depending on the caliber of course). Try Jo Brookes ( a dealer here and I believe he is in Mb ), he sells Berry's plated bullets, I use them for my 9mm. Also doubletap sports (again a dealer here) I just got in 10 minutes ago from picking up 2k 45 acp bullets.
 
Ya Jo-Brook is in Brandon and the Berry's bullets are good value. Shiping should not be too bad from Brandon.

You could also try AIM Projectiles. They have a western Canada rep in Sask. He was in Winnipeg a few weeks ago and dropped my bullets by with no shipping charge.

Post on EE for anyone that has 40 brass in Winnipeg. I know of a few that have thousands of 1X 40 brass.

Then buy your powder and primers (your choice) and your good to go.

As for the Dillon 550/650, there is a dealer in Brandon that deals in Dillon. One in Winnipeg as well. If you want the names, just PM me. I do not want to mention non-contributing dealers here.

Thanks
 
Everytime I purchase a new gun in a different caliber I buy bulk rounds of 1000 so I have lots of brass. I personally found that buying new manufactured ammo is just as cheap as the reloaded stuff and you aren't getting pre used brass. I buy my dies and stock of 1000 bullet tops from whoever is cheaper. Cabellas are to expensive i've found. Powder and primers can be bought through various stores. I also cast my own bullet tops for my 45 which is also cheaper when you get riged out for it. Personally if I were to but a progressive press I'd go with the Hornady Lock and Load press. Seems to me the best press made on the market. Lots of helpful how to's on this CGN'ers and through youtube. Love the sport and the tinkering that goes with it.

+1 for these suppliers. For brass or Dillon stuff in Winnipeg, message sstoller her on Gunnutz. Also WoodJoynt in Brandon has all this stuff too.
 
Thanks guys,i found Travis's ad for joe brooks and his berry bullets.when i do the rough math i can buy 500 rounds of 180 gr Federals 40S&W for $154.99 from SFRC which shoot pretty good from my P99.i don't know if i can reload for that price after tooling up.
 
Your tooling cost is normally a one time "start up" fee. Once you are reloading you can reload for at least half the price of factory ammo. Depending on bullet and powder choice it can be even lower. Your investment in reloading equipment will pay for itself in no time. There are many available calculators available to help you calculater reloading costs versus buying factory. Just search them out and become enlightened.

Funny how we get into reloading to save money, but the budget stays the same but you get to pull the trigger more. A+ for the Dillon, I highly recommend the 550B.

In the last two years we have been trying very hard to reach all the Canadian customers that have been trying hard to get our products. This forum was one of the first I joined and watch it daily. We've been lucky and have had some great distributors step up and take a leap of faith with our products. Keep an eye out for a new line of HP's that will rival the Gold Dot bullets in performance but will actually be available. We've been working very hard to finalize the dynamics and have made great gains. Our target date for release is the first of the year. Here are some pics showing velocities ranging from 750fps to 1000fps in the .45 185gr

That's the same advice i give.

Reloading doesn't save you a cent. If anything, it costs you slightly more, with the costs of tooling and bulk purchase of supplies.

It's advantage is in consistancy, availability, and a better understanding of what it takes to get the best accuracy and reliability out of your guns.

If you are happy to buy what's available, when it's available, and can live with the reliability and accuracy you get, just buy factory ammo. It's not like most of it is bad, or that most guns won't feed it most of the time.
