Rainier Bullets from Midway

Don't know if anyone has ordered Rainier bullets from Midway but for the price they are a pretty good bullet. I use 230 gr RN in my 45 acp. I got their September flyer in the mail the other day and saw that if you buy 2,000 of them for $200.99 you get free freight. Came home from work and jumped on computer decided to order before prices increase. Site says "Out of Stock No Backorder".

So I get looking around cause I'm all set to buy before prices go up and I find 1,000 of them on sale for $74.99 - regularily $94.99 but they are marked "Out of Stock Backorder OK". Means they'll ship them when they get them from Rainier.

I figure that's still a pretty decent price so I put 2 of them in my cart and proceed to checkout. I figure shipping will be horrible but to my surprise it was only $42.04 to my zipcode (Imler, PA).

So after it is all said and done I got 2,000 for $192.02 with shipping. That's $8.97 less than the 2,000 with free shipping? Go figure.

If anyone is looking to get some Rainier's before prices go up jump on it. Not a bad price at all!

You can buy them at Cabela's and not have to pay shipping or wait. Even with sales tax it would be cheaper than buying through MidwayUSA. I always calculate shipping versus sales tax when making purchases. Especially if the items weigh a lot.

I have a few thousand of the Rainier bullets for my 45 that I will load this winter.

Yeah but I'm 2 hours from the nearest Cabela's!

I have been buying those same bullets from MidwayUSA and I could not understand what was going on. Not only was the Rainier 230 grain 45 cal out of stock but a large quanity of .223 stuff is out. I am going to check other places to find supplies.
