New JLK bullet weights

[Preacher]

My Swampworks JLK bullet order just came in, and I'm impressed.
The 200, 105 grain 6mm bullets weighed like this...

2- weighed @ 104.9

9- weighed@ 105.1

189 weighed @ 105.0 on the button.

Now if they will shoot as good in my new 3 groove Pac-Nor as they weigh I'll be happy.

Bruce,
That's pretty darn good, how long did it take to get them?
They are flat base are they not.

It was just a bit over a week to my door, and they are the VLD style.
I weighed the 75 grain VLD .224's and they are equally as good as these were.
Now if Pac-Nor will quit being so busy, and send me my 6br barrel 'O)

I just want to pass this along . I ordered some JLK 6mm 105 VLD and 80gr 22 VLD from Swampworks on the 8th of May and still don't have them and have been trying to E-mail and it will NOT go through now. Now I'm getting TICKED, just want to cancell the order don't want the bullets. I will call them tomorrow. Art

Art, keep in mind that if the bullets are not in production now, he is holding the orders until he had enough to warrant putting them into production. Not sure if that is the case in your situation, but it is something to keep in mind.

I spoke with Spampy yesterday regarding ordering some 180 7mm. I asked some pretty tough questions and I found his replies to be VERY honest indeed. For example, if you want a large order, say 5,000 of a certain bullet, and you want the best cores and jackets,they ain't all the same)so that the entire "lot" is the same, just let him know. It might take a little longer, but it will be done right. Swampy could have given me the sales pitch instead of the honest answer, which I appreciated.

Swampy's prices are very reasonable as custom bullets are just expensive -- no way around it. In fact, his out the door cost for 1000 180 7mm, with shipping was about $75 less than I paid for my recent 1000 6mm Clinch River 106's, and I took hand-delivery of those -- but they shoot REAL good.

To make yourself feel better about custom bullet prices, just check out the price of the .308 cal Sierra 210 Match Kings -- just damn criminal.
