Just received these 115 and 124g v-crown from American. Nice bullet as I have used these before and have a few hundred in storage. One interesting about this is the packaging was weird. The 115's were in a separate plastic bag but the 125's were loose. Oh well at leased they were separate and I don't have to weight them!!!! Craig

I also bought those.  And V-Crown 180 for 10mm, and 230 for 45.  Great deals.

The V Crown projectiles are nice and they are made by Sierra Bullet Smiths...

Yeah Wade they are real nice. I just topped off a box with the 125g as the can holding the 500 wouldn't close, will now. I seem to be doing better with the 125g over the 115g but looking at the data I am loading light on the 115g so I may try to pump it up a little. Maybe it is just me though.  Craig

I did discover that the order was for 500 v-crown 115/124g and 500  124g HST. The HST were the loose ones but I guess I did receive the correct counts. Craig

Hey Craig, are you finding US made primers getting any cheaper, and if so, where are you getting them from

gadabout

Ken I have only found CCI localy but they are mag primers at 120.00 per 1000. Kind of still high and they say they can't get regular small pistol primers. I just don't trust these guys but I like CCI's over off shore. I'm not sure what I will buy next prices are down you may look at Powder Valley for off shore as prices are around 79.00 per 1000. See ya  Craig

Just went to Powder Valley and if you add in shipping and hazmat fee it's about the same as local CCI's.  Craig

Just got done loading 100 or so 125g v-crown left over from other orders and I still have a bunch left. I do love those bullets. Did a few 115g to top off a box. they both shoot great. Better than me that's for sure.  Craig
