What are the shipping charges to Hawaii? Seems I would have to give all my info before getting a quote. Has anyone used these bullets? Are they good?

This company used be called Western Nevada. I have used many of their bullets in different calibers before.
My friend used to order them by the pallet and I would get them from him.
Young Guns also used to carry them.

Some of their lead bullets are outstanding.
I had dismal results with their plated bullets in 45 and 40.

I was going to try the 45-230 HP heads but I am waiting for a response about their shipping charges.
I am inclined to stick with Precision Delta heads because the price is comparable and it is a true copper jacket, not plated.

Ordered on 10/18. Shipped 10/25. Arrived 10/28
Initial impression was good. They looked smooth and consistent. They loaded easily.
Test Load:
45 ACP-230 gr. Xtreme Plated Hollow Point
5.5 HP38
Rem 2-1/2 primers
Winchester cases
LOA= 1.245"
Taper Crimp= 0.466"
Chrono= 816 fps SD=12
Colt GVT with 5.5" Bar-Sto bbl.

I was NOT trying to simulate full power ammo. Just for target shooting.
I expected about 780 fps but I think the Bar-Sto match bbl boosted it a little.
Accuracy was pretty good. I was pleased. I think it could get better with tweaking.
Personally, I am ordering more while they are still on sale.
