Title: Good Deal On .50 BMG Ball Ammo
Post by: billt on May 09, 2012, 07:37:42 AM: http://www.unammo.com/ (http://www.unammo.com/)

I drove over and picked up 150 rounds of this stuff yesterday morning from United Nations Ammo. It's made by Kynoch in Britain. 150 rounds in a .50 Cal ammo can for $375.00. That's only $2.50 a round for 660 Grain FMJ M-33 Ball. That is the cheapest I've ever paid. It's nice clean ammo. Considering Cabela's charges $46.99 for a box of 10 of the Federal M-33 Ball, ($4.70 a round), this stuff is a big savings. I can't shoot factory ammo out of my Weatherby's this cheap.

"I use some household chemicals, plumbing pipe and cannon fuse."

"Why do you have cannon fuse?"

With a perplexed look, the gun nut answers "For my cannon."

Shhh...quiet on the linked. Since Wideners sold out of their linked at $225/100 this is the lowest price I can find. API is fine...

TNW is selling unlinked ball at $1.75/round. Cheapest anywhere.
