Golden West???

**BruceV** · 05-23-2009 02:15 PM

While looking for a source of .308 bullets I found a site called Golden West ( http://www.goldenwestbrass.com/ ). Does anyone know anything about this company? I am thinking about placing an order for some of their .308 150gr. or 168gr. FMJ. Are these good bullets? Is this a good company with which to do business? Sincerely. BruceV

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Goldenwestbrass is a small potatoes outfit in South El Monte, California. My dealings with them have been universally positive, so no fears there. My last batch of 168 gr FMJBT had a weight range of +/- 1.1 grain around an average of 168.22 grain and a standard deviation of .24 grain. The diameter varied from about .3083 to .3087. They seem to shoot a bit better than average milsurp pulls, but when selected by weight and passed through a .308 die they can be about as good as any out there.

Just noticed they raised their prices about 9% and they're still out of stock on just about everything.
