Does anyone know if they are still in business? They had some of the highest bc's of any bullet out there. The best I can remember their prices were reasonable for the quality bullets they offered. Their website is down and I cant find any of their bullets anywhere. Anyone know what happened to them?

I just did a search & found information on Shooters Forum about some legal problems Esser Electric(plaintiff) vs Lost River Ballistics in Supreme Court of Idaho 5-15-08 judgement for the plaintiff for labor & materials for electrical work.

Oh well. I wish someone would take over their work and start building their bullets again.

But maybe this time make them accurate? I know that was to much to ask when they were making them. But at a few bucks apiece you can always hope.

One of my friends is a USMC Force Recon member & he favors 180gr Nosler Accubonds because of their bc(I told him about shooters pro shops nosler blems).Last year in the Arapaho NF he used one in his 308 to drop a large cow elk with a neck shot.This year they bought their CO bull & cow tags on line and loaded more 180gr Accubonds . http://www.shootersproshop.com top of page in the box type in Bulk Bullets & click search them look for 'sale' there are accubonds listed.

I tried to order the 100 gr 25 cal for my STW, but was told they are no longer in business. I went with the Barnes TX which are just as good if your rifle likes them.

At least with http://www.bivwak.com it's a flat rate of $10 to ship. Midwayusa is working to get the same flat rate for shipping.
