- I will not be running out of bullets any time soon. :D
For anyone who hasn't checked out my reloading videos make sure to check them out. If you have any reloading related questions please leave them in the comments below.
I own Montana Bullet Supply, LLC and experience has taught me to STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you are very careful when lifting heavy objects such as boxes of lead. It is very easy to injure yourself if not careful.
So true, about a month ago I tweaked my back walking up the stairs. I could barely walk for almost two days.
You own Montana bullet supply?? Wow are you looking for a friend? 😂I could always use friends who know a lot about stuff.
@@jaytee2716 lol your comment is me anytime i meet anyone with relevance
Thanks for the info grandma, now make me a pie
I’m pretty frail so Inonly fill my ammo cans so that each 50 cal can is only roughly 20lbs. That way I never tweak my back or hurt my arms or neck
The mail delivery guy had a good workout doing your delivery 😂
No worrys about porch pirate's runing off with those!😁
Good luck they are hefty
That looks like bait..im not taking any chances
No doubt ! F$&@‘s are around ! Shiz sad forsure ! 🤬
Bet
Just thinking the same thing. it'd be funny to see them try
Now you need 35,000 small pistol primers…
Good luck.

In response to the poster below, USPS doesn't ship finished ammo, but bullets or empty brass is OK. I worked @ a USPS Distribution Center for many years & we had a local client who manufactured hard cast lead bullets. Every day he mailed 12 to 30 boxes of that stuff. Some boxes only weighed 50#, but many pushed the 70# limit for priority mail.
In Canada we order live ammo and firearms through the mail and either pick it up from the post office or it gets delivered straight to your door
@@justanothercanadian7173 Didn't Treaudope take you ability to own guns away? Please forgive me if I'm wrong.
@@johnnygavita not quite he prohibited the sale and import of handguns but the ones that people already own are here to stay, they also were going to try and ban all semi autos but they got too much pushback and backed down, theres 3 classes of firearms license here the most common being non restricted you take a day long course and your able to buy practically any long gun with exception of a few that are banned by name like the ar and ak but we can still have variants such as the WK180 and type 81 you can take a non restricted rifle practically wherever and it only has to be unloaded while being transported in your vehicle then we have the restricted class which used to be mainly pistols but also any gun under 21 inches and they are more heavily regulated in regards to what you can do with them where you can take them and how you have to store them you can only take them to an approved range you have to call the rcmp and tell them anytime you’ll be transporting the firearm and where to and from and it has to be secured in a locked case there’s also a prohibited license for businesses which is essentially like an FFL and allows you to buy virtually anything but they’re really expensive and not very common
I order ammo all the time.....
I did that type of crap to my UPS/FedEx guys from 2015-18 ordering multiple orders of 20,000 loaded rounds at a time lol.....Good news is I'm set on ammo forever I got it for dirt cheap & I haven't payed shortage prices even sold some at a massive profit.
That is how you got to do it. I only have around 7K primers and this is my first shortage... lets just say next time I can get ammo for cheep #trump2024 I'm going to have so may primers I'll never have to worry about it again.
@@TheLarkinsLair “cheep”
Where did you get it
@@TheLarkinsLair lol Covid and Covid handouts started under trump and he passed all sorts of gun laws(he passed more in 4 years than Obama did in 8)
Only rookies think bullets are loaded ammo.
So true!
Click bait at it's best. Big deal, you bought lead.
And on the internet...though the mail...?
Wow
Heck yeah. Thanks for watching! Yeah it was through the mail, but it is just lead, took me many hours to turn it into actual bullets, but now it is all I shoot.
How is it click bait? Bullets aren’t live ammo. What were you expecting?
That usps guy really deserved the snacks...
Yeah, I made him work for his paycheck that day.
ok its been 3 years how did it go? are they accurate? what choices of grain weights and bullet shapes did you go with? I am using 115 grain for practice they shoot 1 hole groups for 12.99 for 50 of them the cheapest and most accurate also, and the +p ammo is only 65 grains and 16 dollars for 26, I am thinking of using the 115 grain ones for everything, a bullet is a bullet and hollow points are the reason most people survive a shooting because the round breaks apart before doing damage or deflects on hitting something in the way or that they are wearing. I want pure penetration for LARGE very MUSCLE filled BEASTS with muscle density much higher than a man so they basically stop rounds before doing any real damage. I need something that will pass right through thick fur and muscle that is 6-15" thick and more dense than ours by many times and bones larger and heavier than ours.
What are you trying to hunt? Sasquatch?
To answer your question these made excellent 9mm projectiles. I have reload just shy of 10K 9mm rounds mostly with these, and shot about 5-6K of them. If you have time I think casting is a great option. BUT, if you want something to take out big game, sasquatch, or the abominable snowman, then you will need a rifle cartridge and therefore a rifle bullet. Casting for rifles is a bit harder due to the increases in pressures. Even with powder coating the projectile without a gas check on the end of the bullet the back of the bullet can come apart due to the heat and pressures in a rifle. This de-creases accuracy for precision shooting. You can solve the problem by either using a gas-check OR loading sub-sonic rifle cartridge with heavy projectiles.
All that said I personally don't thing gas-checks are the way to go for rifle rounds. I would just purchase rifle projectiles and then re-load. Gas-checks are time consuming and a pain in the butt. There is a reason I don't have a video on them, because I don't think they are worth it. However, if you really want me to I could do some videos on casting for rifle projectiles with gas checks.
Brother, If people are.crying they should grow up! I am glad when people buy the ammo when they find it! Outstanding! But where did you find the pistol primers???
American reloading... I buy them 5-10K at once. But they are still stupid expensive... :/
@@TheLarkinsLair Brother, Awesome thank You for responding back! Best Regards and Keep Safe!
I work for a well known ammo maker. Our pallets are 50,000 rounds, that honestly does not look like more then half a pallet. Anyway, what are you going to do with 35,000 rds?
I am going to shoot them into steel targets! But you are right I didn't say 35K rounds, I said bullets. Even then it was just lead so it took a LOT of effort for me to make them into bullets. All of which I have now cast into a LOT of bullets.
I was wondering how you got the USPS to deliver bullets to your door. I have only had UPS/FedEx deliver ammo.
Technically these were just lead cores that needed some manufacturing to be turned into bullets. I have since casted all of them into projectiles and shot over 10K of them.
In California I can't order bulk ammo and get a good discount.
Yeah, in CA things are pretty tough as far as 2A goes.
What did it cost you and what would it cost to buy already made
My Cost: ua-cam.com/video/qGFR11rAMGY/v-deo.html
Already made, 9mm is going for about 30-35 cents a round at the time of this comment.
That's what I call a good start!
Heck yeah!
I just ordered 5000 9mm rounds from OpticsPlanet. Came out to 32 cents. Can’t wait.
Nice! Ammo is slowly coming back. I just can't wait to get some primers!
@@TheLarkinsLair now is the time. Likely the last good time for a couple years.
About the equivalent of a year and a half for a competition shooter 🧐 you planning on competing in IDPA?
Maybe one day... I just need to find more time.
I have considered molding lead bullets, but seem like an extra step I would enjoy, but find annoying. Just like case prep for rifle handloading.
I get my bullets from a guy in Mississippi... I pay 6 cents a piece for 125 lrn 9mm and 45acp is about 8 cents a piece.. both are 18 hardness and rn.... be very hard to make bullets myself for that price
8 cents?? Wow that is a heck of a deal!
@@TheLarkinsLair I buy FMJs for 4 cents.
Are these just swage cores? Seems like it could be cheaper to get ingots instead
Yeah, I can't remember how much I paid per a lb, but I have since found a better source for cheaper from a local scrap yard.
Do you plan on shooting all of that yourself? If so how many years do you think it will take?
I shoot about 2K 9mm rounds a year. So it will take a few years.
You’re raised a lot of flags with FDA
Yall need to ditch lead already, it has its benefits but it mostly has its disadvantages of penetration power and velocity cause of its densness and weak strength as a metal
There are a lot of objective reasons Lead is used. It is cheap, dense, expands nicely upon impact. There are better options... but they are all lots of $$$ and ammo is already stupid expensive.
@@TheLarkinsLair true. Just saying though. People are trying to make it through 3A with lead and think they need higher calibers rather than the same bullet with just some grain and metal differences.
Question is it cheaper in the end to reload like this? I ask because I’m starting to figure out what I need to start.
Yes, if you don't count your time.
Here is a video on my costs: ua-cam.com/video/qGFR11rAMGY/v-deo.html
Please tell me this ammo doesnt just sit and collect dust and u actually shoot
Don't worry, I shoot it. Every time my sister comes and visits from the Navy we shoot nearly 1K rounds. I reload so it costs me
@@TheLarkinsLair solid. I wish i had ammo like that haha at that price
Let your Eagle fly high 🇺🇸
I have zero issues with you buying 35k projectiles or 35k completed ammo this is America and if I had the money or means I'd do it too. We all know who is the real cause of the ammo shortage.
Thanks man! I have gotten a decent amount of hate for "buying all the ammo." Besides if you watch to the end it is just a bunch of lead that I turn into projectiles. These "bullets" would be useless to 95% of firearms owners.
@@TheLarkinsLair yeah I watched all of the video but even if it wasn't just lead this is America you're free to buy what you want and people claiming to be freedom loving Americans better take a long look in the mirror if they get mad over stuff like this.
It's a hand truck guys, not a dolly. A dolly has 4 wheels.
You learn something new every day. I googled it and turns you are 100% correct.
A magazine is also referred to as a clip ....
Its also referred to as a dolly ... 🤷🏽♂️
You ready to unload a few thousand of those yet?
This is why we can't find any pre-cast bullets, powder, primers, cases or ammo. Now you'll go sell them on gunbroker for 1,000 % mark up.
I am not that kind of person. If you are interested in purchasing some lead you can get it from RMR Bullets under lead, but it is hit or miss whether they have it... just like everything else... :/
Love your video. Glad you did what you did for the post man. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Good thing you showed us what’s in the box. You were going to get a ton of hate if you didn’t lol.
I wanna see the video when you get the 35,000 primers ............. hahahahahahahaha ............ enjoy
What kind of bullets?
Lead cores to make 9mm cast bullets.
@@TheLarkinsLair What mold do you use & your preferred bullet weight/type? Thanks, jack
So i checked with RMR and they said these are around 10 bhn. Is that hard enough to prevent lead fouling by itself ? And also do you water quench or air cool these when you cast them?
I have not had any issues with them, although I do powder coat all my bullets. I have lots of vids on casting and powder coating bullets: ua-cam.com/video/jr1DYyGgsyk/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/XpvM1CxRWfQ/v-deo.html
I almost lost my shit thinking you bought that many 9mm pre made bullets. Good on you for taking care of the delivery man.
Haha! Yeah I don't have 15K lying around. Although since I have posted that video I have casted all but 20 lbs of that lead.
Where can you buy all that lead?
ua-cam.com/video/SP3uXQidlJ0/v-deo.html
www.rmrbullets.com/shop/rmr-in-house/casting-lead-from-rmr-jacketed-bullet-cores-approximately-12-brinnel-hardness/
you still have to source 35k of brass and primers. good luck. lol
Where can I buy 5k rounds of 9mm
Anywhere these days (in a free state). Check out ammo seek. It will search all the websites at once.
GOOD JOB BRO... AND SHOUT OUT TO YOU FOR THE SNACKS WITH THE MAILMAN
So... An every day working at a Gun store, a restaurant, or Wally World... Moving stock from the loading dock to the sales floor...
Yep, pretty much.
Your title says bullet but it is actually called a round…the bullet is the piece on top of the round.
Did you watch to the end?
@@TheLarkinsLair I’m a multimillionaire important professional with 3 women to date and a mansion to care for: of course not! ;)
Who did you order the rounds from??
Just lead? Rocky Mountain Reloading OR a local scrap yard.
Projectiles: American reloading.
@@TheLarkinsLair Okay many thanks
How did you get it delivered in what was the cost
ua-cam.com/video/SP3uXQidlJ0/v-deo.html
Now if you can find primers and powder to go with all the lead.!
I've got plenty of powder, just can't find primers... :/ I only got 3K left.
Bro said heavy for me that’s light when I carry 50 60 pound boxes of tile all day and pallets at a time
💪
How much did they cost
Just the bullet?
I paid $1.50 per lb for the lead.
I cast 124gn bullets so each 9mm bullet is ~2.7 cents
For .380 at 95gn, each bullet would be 2.1 cents.
For total cartridge costs: ua-cam.com/video/qGFR11rAMGY/v-deo.html
Where I got the lead: www.rmrbullets.com/shop/rmr-in-house/casting-lead-from-rmr-jacketed-bullet-cores-approximately-12-brinnel-hardness/
Now I know a local guy who sells me the lead @ 70 cents a lb. So my prices are about half.
What? I've been casting for quite a while. What the heck is that? I'm so confused. I hope you didn't mail order 650 lbs of plain lead. I'd hate to hear what that cost.
Lead is 2,448.35 per ton; which is less than $2/lb. I suspect he paid less than $2000 for the lead. At this point, primers are about seven cents each. You can recycle brass about 10 times. A 1000 count box of brass should last him a few years before his barrels are worn out.
@@JohnLloydScharf You will not find lead for under $2 per lb shipped. Maybe if you're buying a actual ton, but not like this. There is a reason most serious casters don't buy lead online.
It cost me $850 for 650lbs of lead shipped. So ~$1.30/lb. The place where I got it has since raised their prices a bit. I think we all know who to thank for that...
Here is more info: ua-cam.com/video/SP3uXQidlJ0/v-deo.html
@@TheLarkinsLair That's amazing! I can't believe anyone had that price in the last 5 years.
@@TheLarkinsLair That is crazy. I've never seen a online company sell for those prices. Did that include shipping? Heck, you have like $170+ just is shipping cost sitting there.
Hah, you got me, you are correct though, projectiles and casings lol
Haha yeah, lots of work required to make actual ammo!
Haha that is awesome! That is gonna be a lot of work! Great video. Subbed and rang that bell!
Heck yeah! Thanks a bunch!
Looks like 3500 dollars worth of ammo in 2022
Yeah, more like 15K if you are buying factory ammo.
all and all not exactly 35,000 bullets yet 650 ponds of lead dam
Yeah pretty much, but it is now a crap ton of bullets.
can you find primers?ican not.
Yes, I can find them about once a month at my local store for about $5-7 per hundred. This website (americanreloading.com/) has them for $10 per hundred (shipping and hazmat fee included in the price). So yes I can find them, but they are still stupid expensive.
I had to lug 100lbs of box (that's right, singular box) to a neighbor's house because they dropped it off on my porch on accident. After almost dying from a heart attack I asked him what the hell was in the box and this 80 year old tiny little man tells me it was kitty litter... mail ordered to his condo... for his dog... that never goes outside. Some people, man.
HAHA, that is hilarious! At least what I ordered is a lot cooler.
he said good luck finding ammo lol..... every cal in stock most on sale
True, but not two years ago.
How much does it cost to make a 9mm or a 380 bullet?
Just the bullet?
I paid $1.50 per lb for the lead.
I cast 124gn bullets so each 9mm bullet is ~2.7 cents
For .380 at 95gn, each bullet would be 2.1 cents.

If you get tired of casting bullets you can always make a few fishing sinkers as well..
Order 35,000 primers and then I’ll be impressed

I've had good luck recently finding so called 'blemished' bullets from Berry's via Mideay...WTF..Who cares if a bullet has a blemish"??? They're gonna be 'blemished' when they travel down the barrel and impact the berm or bullet stop...just cracking up my presses and bring them in from the hotter"n hell garage (summer in Florida sucks) to the air conditioned house...
I know right! I have NO problem using blemished bullets. They are way cheaper.
Question, WHY are you telling the world about this?
Good question. The ATF hasn't kicked in my door and shot my dog (that I don't have) yet so I suppose I am good.
It's as if you're bragging about it. It takes one idiot to fk it up for the rest. Time for your state to change some laws and restrict what gets delivered to your home.
When's the GUN POWDER and PRIMER DELIVERIES? LOL.
Three years later...
old batteries would have cost less if you needed led, run an ad locally to pick up old batteries for free or buy em cheap,,, just saying
That is true, but I looked it up and the take some time to dis-assemble and you have to deal with the acid. But yes they will 100% work.
I use my trusty slingshot and I never run out of rocks..😄
Haha! Yeah, that is true and re-loading ammo is a piece of cake.
Just curious who was your led source how much per pound
Hello sir. Buy guns, rifles and ammo at very cheap prices from the website below
Chrisparkerfirearms.com
9mm, 223/556, 300blk, 7.62, 380, 44 mag, 12 gauge, 22lr
When I bought this I used a coupon code at the same time and paid $1.36 per lb. You can usually find it cheaper at junk yards or metal recyclers, but those sources are hit or miss.
Good lord whoa😮
Welcome to America, the land of the free where we buy in bulk.
@@TheLarkinsLair God bless
How much did 35,000 rounds cost
Well technically it was just lead... and the lead was around $800, but all loaded it will run me about $3,000 (ua-cam.com/video/qGFR11rAMGY/v-deo.html)
Nice haul! Do you go straight to casting pot or do you do some prep step with lead. Which lee mold do you use for 9mm? I am using the lee 356-120-TC with good success, just curios as I may want to use a different mold. I already buy from RMR, but have not casted any of their lead. Appreciate the video!
With the lead from RMR, I don't do any prep at all, I just pull it out of the box and stick it in the pot. Up to this point I have only cast pistol rounds. You may want harder lead if you cast for a rifle. For 9mm I use the 356-125-2R (6 cavity), it is a great mold. But as long as yours works for you then that is all you need. Thanks for watching!
Mp molds
How much?
Too much... just too much.
At modern prices that’s 8k dollers
Yeah, I eat ramen so I can afford to feed my hungry guns.
More known as “projectiles”
I bought 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 and my FEDEX driver was about to swing on me.
Yeah it kind of sucks at least I bought mine AFTER the holidays. Haha.
I was going to say, I’m surprised usps delivered ammunition lol
Haha true. The deliver projectiles which according to the ATF is ammunition..
That is a lot of casting to do .
Yeah, I have them all cast buy now and have already got some other lead. Although I did cast for some friend (need an 06 FFL).
nice
a like for the cheap harbor freight dolly...
Very nice
Yeah I won't argue with the crazy comment. Wouldn't really advertise my home on video
Bullet key chain caliber 9mm
What type of mix will you be using ?
I buy this from RMR reloading (they only sell it occationaly), and it is a bhn harness of about 12 and it comes clean so I just use it as is.
And the thieves really appreciate showing your house , the location , the outlay and what they can expect to steal . It amazes me how people will put out so much information on the internet for anyone to see without thinking .
True, but they would be pretty disappointed to find 700lbs of lead. Haha.
I just found out today from my reloading store that it is a felony to send bullets thru the US mail. You aren't as crazy as I thought when this video started. Your funny.
Yeah very true.
Lol who ever told you that don't know shit.
Can you make JHP?
You can do hollow points (although I never have) but they are not JHP, because they don't have a Jacket. Good question.
Because I wanted to know if you could make me 1,000 Hollow Point rounds.
Nice
ATF is watching
Yeah... Sad when one of your biggest fears as an American is getting you door kicked in by your own government...
lol saving money at it finest
You got it!
I didn't think you had ammo as USPS won't ship it. I just picked up 700lbs of lead for $150.
Wow! 700lbs for $150 that is a great deal! Was it a local scrap yard? Sometimes you can get great deals from them.
@@TheLarkinsLair My mistresses father passed, he worked hard on it. I couldn't just take it.
If you don't mind me asking where did you purchase all that lead? I am a caster myself 👊😎🇺🇸
Following
I purchased it from a website called RMR reloading it is about $1.5 a round, but they don't always have it up on their site, it is only if they have extra, and it is hit or miss lately, so that is why I bought so much.
@@TheLarkinsLair I just replicated your purchase and they sent it within 24 hours
It is in transit now
The sight says it is 2.5 to 3 percent antimony with a BH of around 10
If you add 2.5 to 3 percent tin you will have an alloy fully capable of 2400 fps and capable of low velocity pistol ammo as well
Tin mixed with equal parts antimony allows the alloy to be hard yet ductile or malleable which means it expands instead of breaking
The antimony allows heat treating as well
This is equivalent to rappers boasting cash on Instagram
These days bullets hold their value better then Cash. I've got the rappers beat!
Good one! Good thinking too.
This guy is sitting behind bars, he was the sole mass shooter of Walmart
No way that's 35000 rounds
You are correct these are not rounds.
A loaded cartridge/round is a bullet, powder, case, and primer.
But at the end of the day I didn't even buy bullets... I bought lead... and made bullets so... you are 100% correct that I did not buy 35K rounds, just enough lead to make 35K 9mm projectiles.
How much it cost$
Too much... too much.

I bought this at RMR reloading they have it up from time to time depending on how much lead they have lying around. As of the time of writing this they have it up and you can find it here:
www.rmrbullets.com/shop/rmr-in-house/casting-lead-from-rmr-jacketed-bullet-cores-approximately-12-brinnel-hardness/
I would consider that more along the lines of a projectile. A bullet in my mind is a loaded cartridge.
A cartridge is loaded a bullet is a projectile 👍
Exactly a cartridge is the whole thing. When you go look at ammo the box will say 20 Cartridges not 20 bullets.
I’ll take a handful thank you
Thanks a lot for causing more problems for everybody
Your welcome! Although if you watched to the end it was actually is just a bunch of lead. Although by now I have cast around 20K rounds now I just need to find more primers.

@@TheLarkinsLair do you have any videos of you loading defense rounds? Or could that be a thing?
you just made yourself a target. not that i would ever do this but the world is a shitty place, and people LOVE to sleuth peoples locations online. first off you showed your face, then your home, and on top of that your friggin address. with just that, people can pinpoint your location and at least take you ammo, and at wort, take much much more from you. please think about this. please.
Watch to the end of the video... not sure too many people would actually want what I got. Also all shipping labels were pulled from the package.
