Posted by: | CommentsFor all of your reloaders out there, Brad Alpert at the Missouri Bullet Company is offering a 5% discount on all of their bullets until midnight tonight. This is on top of their already great pricing. See below for the promo code.
I have ordered their bullets in the past and have been pleased with their product and blown away by their great service. If you have a need for cast bullets, give them a look.
Here is Brad’s e-mail in full:
I just got back from our accountant’s office for year-end advice, and she said -
1.) Spend every nickel in the account for supplies and equipment before midnight, the 31st, and
2.) Book every sale you can before midnight, the 31st.
So, here’s the deal - order bullets before midnight, December 31st using the promo code “Banzai!” at checkout, and 5% will be deducted from your order.
Demand will run a little heavy in response to this solicitation, so give us 2 extra days to ship your order. Our shelves are heavy now but they’ll be considerably lighter, quickly, so get your order in now!
We have several new bullets to offer you, including the IDP #6 125-grain .38 Super bullet, the .44 Smasher! .44 Magnum 240 grain RNFP, the Cowboy #13 .44 Special and (modern) .44-40 RNFP bullet, and the Crusher #1, the .500 S&W 400 grain huge monster thing. We also now have “Bullet Bundles” of 3,000 of the lighter bullets which can ship for the flat-rate of $9.85, and probably other stuff I have already forgotten. Come visit us and take advantage of this year-end deal!
Best to you from the gang at Missouri Bullet Company, and the best New Years ever!
