bullets
A bullet is a kinetic projectile, a component of firearm ammunition that is shot from a gun barrel. The term is from Middle French, originating as the diminutive of the word boulle (boullet), which means "small ball". Bullets are made of a variety of materials, such as copper, lead, steel, polymer, rubber and even wax. Bullets are made in various shapes and constructions (depending on the intended applications), including specialized functions such as hunting, target shooting, training and combat. Bullets are often tapered, making them more aerodynamic. Bullet sizes are expressed by their weights and diameters (referred to as "calibers") in both imperial and metric measurement systems. For example: 55 grain .223 caliber bullets are of the same weight and caliber as 3.56 gram 5.56mm caliber bullets. Bullets do not normally contain explosives (see Incendiary ammunition and Exploding bullet), but strike or damage the intended target by transferring kinetic energy upon impact and penetration (see terminal ballistics).
Bullets are available singly (as in muzzle-loading and cap and ball firearms), but are more often packaged with propellant as cartridges ("rounds" of ammunition). Bullets are components of paper cartridges, or (much more commonly) in the form of metallic cartridges. Although the word bullet is often used in colloquial language to refer to a cartridge round, a bullet is not a cartridge but rather a component of one. A cartridge is a combination package of the bullet (i.e., the projectile), the case (which holds everything together), the propellant (which provides the majority of the energy to launch the projectile) and the primer (which ignites the propellant). This use of the term bullet (when intending to describe a cartridge) often leads to confusion when a cartridge, and all its components, are specifically referred to. The cartridges, in turn, may be held in a magazine or a belt (for rapid-fire weapons).
The bullets used in many cartridges are fired at muzzle velocities faster than the speed of sound—about 343 metres per second (1,130 ft/s) in dry air at 20 °C (68 °F)—and thus can travel a substantial distance to a target before a nearby observer hears the sound of the shot. The sound of gunfire (i.e. the "muzzle report") is often accompanied with a loud bullwhip-like crack as the supersonic bullet pierces through the air creating a sonic boom. Bullet speeds at various stages of flight depend on intrinsic factors such as sectional density, aerodynamic profile and ballistic coefficient, and extrinsic factors such as barometric pressure, humidity, air temperature and wind speed. Subsonic cartridges fire bullets slower than the speed of sound, so there are no sonic booms. This means that a subsonic cartridge, such as .45 ACP, can be substantially quieter than a supersonic cartridge, such as the .223 Remington, even without the use of a suppressor.Bullets shot by firearms can be used for target practice or to injure or kill animals, or people. Death can be by blood loss or damage to vital organs, or even asphyxiation if blood enters the lungs. Bullets are not the only projectiles shot from firearm-like equipment: BBs are shot from BB guns, airsoft pellets are shot by airsoft guns, paintballs are shot by paintball markers, and small rocks can be hurtled from slingshots. There are also flare guns, potato guns (and spud guns), rubber bullets, tasers, bean bag rounds, grenade launchers, flash bangs, tear gas, RPGs, and missile launchers.

Asking $25 $15 OBO
What I have is ;
2 boxes 50 rounds each Peters Blue / white boxes.
1 box 44 rounds Remington Green / white box.
All 3 boxes are old style , do not know if it is reloads. The person I bought pistol from said they were factory.
185 new cases...
Bullets for trade all boxes sealed. Looking for accubonds, partitions, a-frames, Scirocco or Barnes ttsx. Calibers .224, .257, .264, .308 smaller than 180gr, .338 and .375. Might be willing to sell but mostly looking to trade.
I have assorted jacketed brands 40 S&W/10mm Flat Point Bullets. Mostly Winchester and Remington with other brand mixed.
Loose No Box
100 165gr $ 15
250 180gr $ 35
Willing to ship, add $12 USPS
Will I get more life out of the barrel of a '92 Winchester by reloading/shooting coated bullets? I thought less friction my be easer on the 120 year old barrel. Thoughts?
Thank you.
Got in trade and don't shoot this weight. These are new in unopened box. 2 boxes 165gr and 2 boxes 180gr. Willing to trade for anything in 150gr or small/large rifle primers or ???. Retail $40/box but I would prefer trades. Please DM with offers. Thanks for looking!
I have an old box of Hornady .257 diameter 117gr Round Nose bullets.

I have no idea how I acquired these.
But I do know these don't fit anything I own.
There are 400 by weight. $15
I'd like to sell a few of these. They're bit heavy so pickup preferred but not required if you pay the ride. Boxes are old but sealed. I can get more picks if required
