JLK Bullets BULLET PRICES A Note About Our VLD and LD Bullet Prices

Have you ever been scoring at the 600 line during a Highpower match, or in the "off" relay, and watched the wind conditions as they change? You probably have.... and many times you have probably seen what happens as the wind flags suddenly drop or maybe even do a quick reverse. Just as the flags drop three or four shooters will let off a shot. About 10 seconds later you can hear curses fly up and down the line as their targets come up out of the pits showing spotters in the 9 ring or maybe even the 8 ring on the upwind side (or what USED to be the upwind side).      Has this ever happened to you?? I can tell you it's happened to me. The one thing more shooters get caught on than anything else at the Long Line is the "Unseen Wind Change".... It's a sure way to drop a point or two.      If you are like me, you can't afford to drop any unnecessary points, even one or two.  In the highly competitive world of NRA Highpower and Long Range shooting a point or two can make the difference beteween winning or losing your Class, or maybe making it into the top 10% in a CMP Leg Match.      What's the answer???      Well, nothing is a "Cure All" for dropped points (Would that such a thing existed), but if you are shooting bullets with the highest Ballistic Coefficient that you can get your hands on, then maybe that "upwind 8" due to the wind reverse you missed, or that "upwind 9" because you didn't see the flags drop just as you got back on the trigger would not have happened. Wouldn't a mid ring 9 be better than that 8 after a switch?? A scratch 10 would SURE look a lot better than that 9 that rose up from the pits after the flags dropped.      We can't guarantee you that ANY bullet will keep you from dropping points due to wind.... but we can say with pretty good confidence that a higher BC bullet (and the BC's don't come any higher than the JLK VLD's) is going to buck the wind better and increase your chances for staying "Closer to the Middle"... and not costing you as many points due to unseen wind shifts.      Now.... what's all this got to do with our Bullet Prices???      Bullet Economics 101, Lesson 1 is about to begin....      Numerous times I've heard people complain that "Jimmy Knox wants too much for his bullets", or "I can't afford those high dollar VLD bullets".      HUH!!??!!   Come again???      JLK's VLD bullets are a premium product. Any truly "premium" item is going to cost a bit more than the mass produced items from the Big Bullet Factories like "Brand S" or "Brand H".   It can't be helped.      So what makes a "Premium" bullet???      JLK Bullets are made one bullet at a time. Each and every bullet goes through 4 or 5 separate stages (depending on the bullet) during which human hands do the work.  In the "Big Bullet Factories" bullets are cranked out on automatic machinery by the umpteen thousands per hour. Human hands never touch the product until it's being inspected and packed.      It's a fact of life that doing something by hand costs more than making it on automatic machinery. Fortunately however, doing something by hand can also bring great benefits to the quality and utility of the end product. JLK's bullets bear this out... in spades.      OK now..... JLK's Bullets are going to cost you anywhere from 2-3 cents to maybe even a nickel a pop more than the bullets you are used to buying.      Let's put this into perspective....      Worst case.... You are shooting a JLK VLD bullet that costs you 5 cents more than the bullet you were using. In a typical NRA Highpower event you will shoot 22 shots in a 600 yard match. Twenty-two times 5 cents equals $1.10.      That's One Dollar and Ten Cents. A buck and a dime. You can't even get a hamburger for that anymore. Barely even a cup of coffee.      Now, let's just say that having the added wind bucking ability of JLK's high BC VLD bullets has saved you only ONE POINT in a 22 round match. In many of the NRA events I've shot that one point can make a difference in where you end up in the standings.      How about if the JLK VLD's saved you two or maybe THREE points.... maybe even an extra X or two instead of 10's???      How many times have you come up from the line after firing 22 rounds shaking your head and bemoaning the points (or X's) you dropped cuz' the wind caught you???      Where would you have ended up in the standings if you'd NOT dropped a few of those points, or had one or two more X's???      Beginning to get the picture with regard to "Bullet Economics 101"?      Maybe it should be "Bullet Economics $1.10"      Isn't an extra $1.10 investment in your ammo box when you lay down at 600 worth the potential gain???      Lot's of shooters think so. We think YOU will too after you've tried your first box of JLK Bullets high BC VLD's.      End of lesson..... "Bullet Economics $1.10"
