9 mm 124 Gr. Gold Dot Cheap
« on: January 14, 2010, 02:24:40 PM »
This is the cheapest price I have found for this, so thought I'd share.  It is the bulk stuff.  I just paid $160 for 500 rounds.  Cheaper for 1000 rounds, but I thought I'd save you guys some.  :-)  I never ordered from them before and just ordered today.

Kayaker.  Excellent price on the Gold Dots, for sure.  I also noticed they had WWB ,FMJ, at a good price, 500 rds at $129.95, for those who like this.  Thanks.

Tquieng,

Good pick up, I hadn't noticed that.  The bulk Gold dot I found on other sights is nickled.  What's with this stuff??  I was just going to run a bunch of this stuff through my new gun and then carry it.  If a hundred rounds work fine, what do you guys think?  Is this stuff close enough to regular Gold dot that I can count on Gold Dot's proven reliability in a Rohrbaugh.  In the absence of being able to use this reliability info, I suspect that putting 100 rounds of a "new"ammo through my gun is insufficient to decide that its good enough for PD.

Should I cancel this order and get some nickeled bulk gold dot somewhere else?

I think their on line description at surplusammo .com is deceptive.  Granted they show the picture, but according to the Speer website Gold dot is nickled and Speer does not talk about a non-nickled option.  Is this then really Gold dot?

When I go to the surplusammo.com website, I get "Account Suspended." That's a good sign...

Re: 9 mm 124 Gr. Gold Dot Cheap and WWB

I just spoke with Dylan at surplus ammo.com.  He said  that every now and then Speer runs a batch that isn't nickled for reasons unknown to him.  He said that he has used it extensively and it works fine as range ammo.  I can certainly get even cheaper range ammo and if I'm not carrying this stuff, it makes  no sense in my mind shooting a bunch of it.  I switched my order to WWB which they also have cheap at $130 for 5oo rds.

Their website is back up.

Reportedly they work well.  You can search "WWB" and see what has been said.
