Bullet Construction vs Lethality

[RichCoyle]

Nevermind, that was rude

Why was it rude?

 

[RichCoyle]

The Perfect Bullet may or may not be out there, but The Best currently available for my use is.

That's what I'm after.

Same here.

I think Fennix says there's one he won't use. There are a whole bunch I won't use. They're all from Hornady. I used to use them for my wildcat dies so much Ben recognized my voice. He even named one or two of them. But when Steve Hornady required his employees to get the jab, I didn't get anything from them anymore, except a mailer. And that went into the trash.

There are 0 reasons to use 100% copper projectiles.

That makes as much sense as saying there are 0 reasons to use lead projectiles

Try Apex Outdoors Afterburners and see if they give you what you're looking for.

Sticker shock at $84+/50 for the 133 gr Afterburner with practically the same G7 BC as the 128 BD2 which is over $30 less/50! Should we increase prices?

Steve Hornady sent out a letter to his employees letting them know that the Biden admin, along with OSHA, was pushing for a mandate with a $14,000/day fine for each employee that wasn't vaccinated. That proposed mandate was for businesses over 100 employees.

There was a lot of misunderstanding from that letter and a lot of jumping to conclusions. The mandate from the Biden admin and OSHA never went through, nor did Steve Hornady ever mandate the vaccine to his employees.

People sure seem to think so though. More Hornady products for others I guess… .

Yes, which means I am more open than most.

Have your prices been the same since day one?

 

[Wyo37]

Why was it rude?

I meant my response was going to be rude in hindsight so I edited it.

 

[nralifer]

Pretty close. We increased them some for the BD2 line and to help compensate for increases in copper costs. I have been told by several friends I should charge more, but I have resisted that. How does $20-30 more/ box sound?

You're losing me with this approach. Is it all about price now? Are you implying Mark is price gouging and ripping off his customers?

Be proud of your prices, but don't sink to this level now.

A quick search shows Tipped Hammers at $80 or more per 50 bullets too .

I am pretty sure you do not have the exact operating costs. If you need to increase your price to offset your operating cost to generate a profit margin and worth the risk, go for it.

And 225 Grain .338 high velocity tipped expanding bullets from Maker Bullets is $42 for a box of 50 (https://makerbullets.com/proddetail.php?prod=338225THV)
