Is Buffalo Bore crazy?

[Where's Bruce?]

I have been buying various boxes of hard cast 10mm ammo so I could perform some penetration tests and when I got to Buffalo Bore they wanted $21.84 to ship a single box. That increased the cost of the purchase 50% and they only offer one shipping option. Nobody else charges anywhere near this amount. I decided to leave em outta my test. I have purchased a lot of ammo from this company but seeing how much they wanna charge for a single box just turned me off.

Yea. That’s outrageous.

Yep, that's a crazy shipping cost. You might check out a retailer like Midway USA or Cheaper Than Dirt if you haven't already. I've purchased Buffalo Bore 41 Mag and 460 S&W ammo from those two in the past with reasonable shipping costs.

That is outrageous. Try ordering them from a retailer instead.

Great bullets but...…..yikes.

You can buy their ammo for other online retailers. Maybe they don't want to compete with their customers.

I wish retailers sold the Dangerous Game mono-metal ammo I want. https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=571

All you have to do is buy 12 boxes, and the shipping is free.

They oughta offer a shipping alternative or a sampler option for people like me who only need a few rounds for testing purposes.

I have several boxes of that stuff. I still haven’t gotten around to shooting any of it yet.

if I was in the lower 48 I would, they don’t let us send Ammo in Alaska.

Could it be the additional paperwork required in CA has something to do with their high shipping?

In CA, we have to fill out paperwork for a case of ammo or one box. That is for each individual type of ammo...so if you are getting different bullet weights...or different calibers.

FWIW, I found a friendly FFL through our SCI chapter that is reasonable.....even after having to do all of the paperwork. It helps to have a relationship with an outfit like his as he keeps my info on file to pre fill the paperwork for me. He insists on doing everything by the book....but he has a system to streamline the transaction.

Re test; I for one would like to see it....though I think it's important to factor in function, if it doesn't feed 100%....then penetration doesn't mean a thing.
