A Guide for Choosing a Type of Bullet

Bullets come in many shapes and sizes, and specific bullets are available depending on their intended usage. Full-Metal-Jacket (FMJ) bullets are typically used for practice shooting or training while softpoint bullets are used for hunting purposes. Some bullet types expand upon impact while others are designed to prevent tip deformation. In addition, bullets have different bases based on the bullet design, gun model, and intended usage. When choosing your bullet type, pay attention to the type of recoil the bullet will have and the gun design. Take time to research the different options available when choosing a bullet.

Ordered 4, 100 count bags of commercial .223 nickel plated casings to make up some varmit ammo. Didn't have any prep work done to Them. They arrived 3 days from date ordered. They were very clean and needed no tumbling. Very very pleased with the quality of the casings!!! The shipping was the fastest of any vendor that I've ordered from in many years..
These folks are my new go-to company for all my brass and tumbling supplies. Price is right and shipping is extra speedy! Can't beat the quality of the brass.

I would like to take the time to say just how fantastic much Diamond K Brass is to the reloading community. I began reloading in 2005 and began my search for a company to which I could build a relationship with for all my reloading needs and fortunately I found Diamond K Brass on the web and have not purchased any components for any other company since. First and foremost they have figured out what a successful business model begins with, "Outstanding Customer Service"!! I have been of the belief that I am willing to pay more for a product and/or service as long as it comes with outstanding customer service and with Diamond K Brass you get the luxury of not only outstanding customer service but the best prices I have been able to find. When I began reloading I had some questions so I called them and one of their managers spoke with me to answer all my questions and 1.5 hours later he was still willing to thoroughly discuss and answer my plethora of questions. I have never forgot that. Everyone in my sphere of life that reloads I recommend they check out Diamond K Brass and they too, not to my surprise, are equally impressed & happy with the company. Therefore, I would recommend to anyone who reads this to check them out and give them a try and you too will never purchase reloading components from anyone else. If I could say one thing to Diamond K Brass, please never change your business model as it serves you well and thereby, all the customers you serve.

I looked up my testimonial from 2014. I was mentoring a young man through the 'bumps' in reloading. Despite the vast differences in age, and times, he latched on to the hobby and seems to be as addicted as I am and remain to this day. Some seven years later, one would think a seedling would fail to grow in today's political climate.... but places like Diamond K Brass make it possible. They don't get the credit they deserve. If shooting DISAPPEARS IN THIS COUNTRY, my student will never forget the good times in the woods. As an older man he will be the one rolling something around in his hand, as he looks at a sunset, or contemplates a family move. Chances are, that will be a cartridge case from 'K BRASS!'

I know..... I taught him well.
