.380 Ammo - talk about charging 'what the market will bear' !
« on: January 23, 2010, 03:16:50 PM »
Alamo Ammo - 380 page

Fed Hydra Shok - hold onto your cajones lest they hit the floor - $69.95 for a twenty round box!

But wait! you could get Black Talons here also (second page) for a mere $89.95 per twenty.

Hardball is overpriced, but not by too much based on what I was able to find on the shelf locally.

File this under good news / bad news.

 ;D




Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

luckygunner.com Aguila $11.42 per 50 rds. The SD rds. well,,,,they suck,.....but you have to just shop around....

ammoengine is a good resource...
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

I understand the lightweight aspect, but honestly can't understand why folks would pay so much money for such a dinky little round.

I do reload what I shoot most of .....38 spcl and .357 mag.

I don't normally shoot .380 so I sold a part of my stockpile and reordered from Cabela's to replace it whenever they get it back in stock.

+1  :)

I like the container your using to keep different bullets separated.  Good idea!  I've just left them in the factory box's until used, but like what your doing better.

Plus, if all your reloading is .380, how many lifetime's does a single jug of powder last you!?!   ;D  CHEAP!

I agree with the reload comment, but WHERE do you get the parts? Primers just recently became available, profectiles are doing ok, but I can't get brass, to save my life. I don't reload my S/D ammo, shoot only factory, but like to reload my practice/plinking ammo. I guess I'll have to break down and order some online. Know a good source for once fired or new?
