The brass cleaned up really well after an hour and really nice after 2-3 hours. Inside and out. Love it. Now, where are my boolits.
A buddy of mine recomended I use his guy next time, precisionbullets in Kemp,TX . He has coated lead bullets, I may try them next time, bad thing is it will have sales tax too.
A lot of the time Precision Bullets will come out cheaper even with sales tax because they pay the shipping. I've used a lot of their bullets they are good. Check Midway's selection of bullets they sell Rainier plated bullets they are excellent as are Berry's Bullets (plated also.) Midway will run a sale on Rainier bullets at least twice a year. You can buy Berry's direct. Another good bullet at a reasonable price is
VELOCITY BULLETS If you have the time the cheapest bullet you'll shoot are home cast; especially if you can get the lead for free!

Get my bullets from Friendswood Bullet, he is about 20 mins from my house so I pick up local and his prices are the cheapest I have found. Not sure if will workout better for you with shipping added in.

Shipping is no longer the impact that it used to be.
USPS flat rate shipping is $14.20 for a large box up to 70 lbs.
For example, at Missouri Bullet Co., you can buy their 115 gn 9mm "Bullet Bundle" at 4000 bullets for $236.00. That means the shipping is actually less than the sales tax would be here in Texas.

Yes, although I think I read it was 65 lbs not 70. Still sucks not to know though. I could have ordered 2000 instead of 1000 for the same shipping. Lesson learned.
A very wealthy man once told me, "Look out for the cents, the dollars will take care of themselves."
