xmetal coated bullets

I'm not sure of another Canadian supplier of coated bullets . I've been casting and powder coating my own. Plus side no strange burning vinyl smell like I got with Xmetal.
If your not interested into getting into casting and powder coating your own Campro were roughly the same price as Xmetal when they were still available.
 
A quick email to X-Metal explained that a combination of a shortage of manpower (covid related I expect) and wanting to concentrate on the metal targets means that the plated bullet manufacturing has been suspended indefinitely. I know that SFRC has some kits still in stock if that helps.
 
$73 for 500 yikes! Thats $146 vs $110 for campro? Why would someone want to pay more for that?!? I too make my own PC Cast Bullets for that reason alone. Mine come out to about $0.005 per bullet. So $5 per 1k
 
Very true

Campro are better bullets for less money. Poor analogy and the former question is apt. I never understood it either, the coated bullets available in my area were about 30% of Campro, that made sense a bit at least. I do it myself for close to free these days. My lead stash is low but even paying for it I can do better.

...And a bunch of us who experienced poor bonding of the coating; feeding and loading issues. They also stank when fired.
