  As all of us that shoot have sadly realized, the costs associated with the shooting sports are escalating faster than we have ever experienced before. Powder and primers have almost doubled since the summer of 2006. Brass prices have also reached an all time high in that same time period. This trend is unlikely to change in the near future and, when it does, the price of a reloaded cartridge will most likely not return to the “old” cost.

  The metals associated with bullet making are also part of this trend. World markets have driven the cost of tin, antimony and lead to new highs.

No matter how high the costs go, cast bullets will still be the most economical way to produce accurate, affordable ammunition at far less cost than their jacketed counterparts.

   A major topic of conversation and concern in the industry has always been the consistency or shall we say inconsistency in manufacturing techniques. Differences in alloys from batch to batch, which result in poor accuracy and performance issues, have plagued shooters for years. Paying more for a bullet doesn’t always constitute a more precise product. It could mean you merely paying for a bigger “bottom line” for someone. 

     All of our bullets are cast with 92% lead, 6% antimony, and 2% tin (other combinations are available upon request). We do not use any “reclaimed metals” in our bullet making process. We purchase the cleanest metals that are available to us and we alloy our own mixtures.

   Now the big question, “Do they shoot?” I have always found it beneficial to study the people at the top of their game and have tried to learn from them.  Our best testimonial is the people that use them. 

     Along with other top shooters in the state, Jack Vespa, the 29 time Minnesota State High Master Pistol Champion, member of the "Presidents 100" and two time civilian winner at Camp Perry shoots our bullets at all the events he competes in.  

U.S. champion Springfield Armory pistol team member George Kasat, who also holds the title of Minnesota State High Master Bullseye Champion, chooses to shoot Northstar Bullets. 

We are proud to be part of their success.  

Another important question:

“How do I get a bunch of heavy lead to me?” With the advent of the Postal Services’ flat rate containers, shipping is a lot smaller part of the equation than it used to be.

Up to 70 Lbs. (about 2,500 200 grain bullets) can be shipped in one box for around $10.00 through the Postal Service.  The containers do take a fair amount of abuse because of the weight so we advise a little extra insurance just in case. (about a buck and a half)

We take an aditional measure to insure that your shipment arrives undamaged by  sealing our products  in 6 mil industrial weight poly bags. We then double box the bullets before we place them in the postal containers for shipment. 

   There are no hidden handling costs - you pay only the cost of the shipping. 

   We will continue to offer a very good bullet at a very reasonable price. Please call or email us for pricing. I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised if you do.  No gouging going on here.  Just a fair to all price and a passion for the sport.

   All products are triple inspected for quality and we include extra bullets in each box "just in case".

   We guarantee all of our products and your satisfaction.
