Re: Paladin Steel Storefront

I just want the bullets. What about having you produce the .308 bullets, and I will order casings from Golden Age Weaponsmiths. The hand-loading facility will be in Merc Town. You quoted 375 for 100, I'll take that, and charge 500 for 100 rounds. That will cover all of the costs of production, handl...

Re: Paladin Steel Storefront

So it's not any cheaper for just the bullets and not the casings as well? Hmmm, there goes my plans for loading and offering 300 Blackout. All the weapons in 5.56 could be converted to use 300 Blackout, which uses modified 5.56 casings and .308 bullets. Normal ammo could be suppressed easily with da...

Re: DynaTec Industries - Bullets for your valentine

Ignore what I said, your calibers are not lead-based. Though steel or iron bullets was pretty normal for Soviet nations for a long time.

Stats were mostly very much the same as normal ammo.

Re: Paladin Steel Storefront

Brah, do you think you could ever get the cost of the DU bullets down? I have no idea why Wellington makes them, if they're going to be in only the caseless version of 10mm, be worse then explosive rounds, and cost the same or more.

Chipwell CBW-40

We could maybe get the 'DU' rounds to a Credit each if someone besides Wellington made them for us. They charge as much as the exploding ammo and that stuff doesn't like the liquid propellant.
