The new website is nice but none of the bullets are in-stock. I would email them and ask if they are available by order. I often had to order from Swampy and wait.

Yeah I loved their bullets, but they should have something in stock to stay in business.
I have looked at their site oocasionally and same thing
nothing ever in stock.
Wonder how long the wait is.
Last time I ordered from them I asked for several hunbdred 60 gr .224 cal
I received 52 grainers instead.
60 grains was even on my receipt order
last time I ordered from them.
I think it's changed hands too many times from when Jimmy Lee Knox ran things

Thread '"Swampy" has left the range'

Feb 28, 2019

It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Steve "Swampy" Milholland has left the range. He owned/operated JLK bullets. All that I know is he passed suddenly. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers during this difficult time.
Keep holding center Swampy,

Lloyd Smith

I've emailed and called them. They must of closed up

We've lost two very good 6.5 mm bullets, the JLK and the Clinch River. What hurts me about this is, I know that the dies didn't turn into smoke and disappear, they are out there somewhere, and nobody is making bullets on them.

I texted JLK 8 months ago. He responded that he has shut down for a while, but plans to return to bulletin making sometime. I didn’t get any idea of when though.

I shot the 210 JLK from Swampy for many years. After he left the range, I finished my stash of bullets, found some more from different sources, some very generous.

I communicated with the person who took over the JLK bullets and he was just producing 6mm bullets and did not have immediate plans for 30cal. I was playing with the 230 A-tips for a while and then gave up on those and went Berger.

The 210 JLK was a wonderful bullet and extremely consistent for me. But that's in the past now,

I found some JLK 210s with a dimpled bottom at an estate sale. Later, someone mentioned these were a limited run made back in the early-mid 2000's? They shot exceptionally well...

Jimmy and Lois were really good people. So was "Swampy".
