| Two boxes of 7MM 160gr TSX with tax cost me $ 1.19/per bullet today. A price reduction would be nice. |

| Would hope so. Copper prices have dropped significantly. Barnes should be through their supply of copper that was bought at high prices. Barnes is a company that truly seems to give a shit about the customer instead of the dollar. |

| Sorry to burst any bubbles but Cooper prices are not really down at all. http://www.kitcometals.com/cha...pper_historical.htmlLook at the six month chart, it was at $2 and is now at $3
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

| Just like gasoline pricing. Once it goes up and everyone gets used to paying it....IF it goes down again it isn't much and it always goes right back up again shortly thereafter. May as well get used to the pricing of bullets staying up. |

| I agree that they're too expensive, the qualities are too small (boxes of 20 pistol bullets!!!), they change designs way too often and good luck finding loading data. But... Some of us don't have much choice but to use Barnes and if we don't band together this lead-free garbage is going to spread. ___________________________ www.boaring.comI'm so old that I still have some skills even without an internet connection or electricity. ___________________________ |

| I pretty much stopped shooting them. Accubonds and Interbonds work damn well on game and shoot bug holes in many rifles. So the extra cost is not getting me anything except less boolits for my dollars.
If they were the same cost as Interbonds and Accubonds then I would certainly shoot em up. |

Like Kyler said, we don't have a choice in "condor country". Sure hope somebody else starts making leadfree bullets soon to give Barnes some competition. And the rest of you beware, this leadfree insanity may show up in your state soon.

| I have had great luck with Barnes TTSX's in several rifles. I recently experimented with Berger VLD's on a few WT hunts and will no longer be paying top dollar for Barnes. |
