Need Ideas for What Rifle Bullets to Bring In

my latest issue with your average sporting goods store that stocks components is they duplicate the calibers that are readily available in factory ammo:mad: sure they are the most popular but 2 shelves of .30 cal in 7 dif weights and 4 brands was a little much.

I got into handloading when I ended up with a gun that you could not feed "off the shelf". The last time I was at a local outdoor store the only selection (3 shelves) of projectiles was for 7mm, .308 and .338 and a few boxes of .45

so your on the right track Henry....Poll the masses, and try to stock a selection of the popular calibers that eat ammo that is not always available at the hardware store.

6.5....358....375.... that kind of thing.

my 2 cents

Its great to have some specialty stuff, but if you want to make money, you stock what everybody wants, not pseudo-euro collectors and such. There are a hundred 30 cal owners for every 35 cal owner.

That being said, I would like to see someone stocking the Nosler E-Tips a little better.

That's the problem with asking what people want- they're likely to tell you! If you get into the "specialty" bullets, I'm sure some folks would be interested in North Fork, too. They have a very good rep. from what I've read.

Henry,

Any chance your suppliers can get a .430" or .431" cal 320+gr Hard cast. Bullet can have a gas check but doesn't have to. The wider the metplat the better.

Nice to have a dealer ask what the folks want. Thanks for doing that!
