The Shooters Pro Shop has got me figured out. Every time I look they have another bullet on sale I think I can't live without. Recently it was the 260 grain 375 Partitions. So rather than pay the shipping for one bag I always throw in a bunch more to the order.
Normal delivery is two days after I order.
On the plus side, I'm well stocked on Nosler bullets and should have plenty to keep me entertained this Winter.
 
As long as your paying the same flat rate shipping what matter does it make if you buy one bag or ten or maybe twenty bags. I usually limit myself to four bags at a time unless there is more than one type bullet I need. I sure wish they'd hurry up and get some .270 130 accubonds out there.
 
I have a search saved to favorites that looks at overrun and blem offerings and usually check it daily.
My goal is at least 6 items per order to keep shipping at $2 or less per item.
On a scale of 1 to 10. With 10 being most addicted....where does that put me....maybe a 8? Lol
 
Just got the credit card bill and there are 2 charges to SPS this month and I just noticed they have a few more listed that I would like to get. I guess I will have to wait a bit to let the dust settle around here.
 
I use to be, but with my current stock pile of Nosler bullets, I broke the habit - I do browse once in a great while, it use to be every day, even multiple times a day.
 
I look a lot but I haven't been buying lately, I've got more stuff than I need for the next couple years. Heck, I've got stuff I bought a couple years ago that I'm just getting to load now.
 
Usually dailey and if I make an order, it's $100.
I'm slowing down now. I have most of what I want/need.
 
I check their site regularly and have been a customer for awhile, Unfortunately, they developed a new policy for customers from NY. You can no longer make internet purchases of bullets. you must call in your orders. I normally surf the net at night or on weekends when I have time but they are usually closed then. Bullets don't last long at SPS and waiting for them to open again just doesn't work very well.
I hope they get past this requirement.

You need to by more, two years is not nearly enough. I get nervous when I get under what I would consider 5 years. I probably have a lifetime supply of several components, however I am old and probably won't last, for a longgggg time.
 
I'm sure it's part addiction for me but also fear. Fear of not being able to have enough components to load for all my firearms and not ever knowing if you'll get anymore. So I make regular purchases when things are available to keep my stock above minimum. I just made an order for 150 7mm bullets and 150 30 cal. I buy a little at a time and have a good stock by doing that over the last 7 years since I've gotten back into reloading.
