.30 bullet head source

Guys,

The President of Midway should burn in he*l for his attitude about sending reloading items to Massachusetts.

He refuses to send anything for reloading to MA even a gun shop!

Gun shops are licensed dealers and I have had reloading stuff like bullet heads or dies sent there if other vendors were afraid of the vague MA rules on bullet components. The owner of the local shop is a friend and fellow shooter so he accepts shipments I have made on line from other vendors.

That total a*s with his smug look, at Midway, when I sent (him) the president of Midway a letter, sent me a letter back saying he would not ship bullet components or reloading dies to a retail gun shop and sent me a Midway Hat.

I took the hat to the range and put about 200 rounds through it .... what a f'n jerk, don't EVER deal with MIDWAY and don't send me a f'n hat to make things right, what an insult!

Buy at Widners, they send me what ever I want!

I appreciate the info from Ron and Rick but Midway is not some organization ANY of us should deal with when there are other companies who are not so "corporate" and helping us "shooters" out.

Sorry about the rant but they really got me mad with the responce to my letter.

Mark

Hi Mark & all, I've been loking for 93 gr. .30 Luger FMJ bullets for quite awhile now... other then a few boxes here or there over the last couple of years, they seem to be a,"not to be found!" type of item... So, I have a couple of thoughts... on this... does any of our overseas friends have access to them?? We could all go together on a bulk order if possible or pratical ... Or, has any one attempted to set up a low cost swaging operation?? I used to swage bullets as a 9 year old kid in my dads gunshop..

....doesn't mean I knew what i was doing, but it was east enough so I could do it... The swage was set to make .22 cal soft points for .220 Swift, if you flipped'em over they made full metal jacketed bullets... that was 40 plus years ago, but i still remember how easy it was to do... Just a thought... best to all, til....lat'r...GT
