Scored some Ammo

[GUNS-R-US]

I picked up 3000rds of 9mm today. I got 2k of it @ $200 for a 1000rds , their Federal 95gr JSP Jacketed Soft Points. Any body ever used this stuff? I've never used anything so light before. I'm not sure how their going to work out , but for the price I couldn't pass them up. The other case was Winchester 115gr whitebox in 100rd value packs, @ $250 for the case. Not a big savings, but better that the MagTec at $315 per 1000! I'm wondering if I should have just saved the $50 on the Whitebox and got 3 cases of the Federal?

Don't use that....it's horrible stuff.  Send it to me for proper disposal immediately ! ! ! ! ! !

So...was this a local store purchase or something from the internet whose location you don't wanna share with your DRTV buddies...??...??

Hmmm? ? ?

Yes Rastus, this was a local store purchase for me, if you care to score some for yourself, I got it from Surplus Ammo and Arms in Lakewood, Wa. https://www.surplusammoandarms.com/ The also do internet sales. I just looked and the Federal I bought is listed @ $209 for a 1000 on the website, but it's price in the store is @ $199.99 they had at least another 5 cases on the shelf yesterday. What they have in the back is anybody's guess!

Okay finally got the range to shoot some if this Federal 95gr ammo.   And this stuff is HOT!!! If you get some, it shoots well but you will think your shooting a .40 or .45 in stead of a 9mm! With this stuff you can be sure in the end, the Zombies will die!

Nice to hear. I picked up some 9mm 115gr Rem UMC at Wally World in the bulk packs, $52 for 250 rounds, so a hair more than you paid and you got HP not the ball I got. But for plinking and IPSC (some day), it'll do.

Love the zombie target . . . .

They have a lot of other stuff besides the 9mm listed and they have never gouged me on shipping.

Hope this helps.

There is nothing wrong with anything from Federal that comes in a white or brown box. That ammo will run great. I've run through a ton of it. Now, at least here in Arizona, the supply seems to have dried up. What remains is priced to the Moon! I've since switched to the Federal "Champion" brand of 9 MM FMJ from the local Wal-Mart here in town, when they have it of course.

I've also come across the Winchester NATO 9 MM which is also good stuff. I shoot mostly FMJ in my 9's, then save the brass and reload it. It's about the cheapest way to come into possession of once fired brass for that caliber. If it goes through my 9 MM Glocks, I then segregate it for use in my Sigs. Because of Glocks unsupported chamber design, factory ammo that is fired through them should not be reused in a Glock again because it supposedly reworks the brass too much and can lead to blown cases. I've never had it happen to me, but I at least try to be cautious about it. I do the same for scrounged up range brass that finds it's way home with me. I just automatically assume it was fired in a Glock.  Bill T.

Was it making a lot of smoke like some of the bargain rounds?  Regardless, you got a good deal!

The 9 MM is a high pressure round when compared to the .40 and .45 ACP. If you compare a 9 MM to a .38 Special it really becomes apparent by the difference in size. Yet the 9 MM is ballistically equal to, if not superior to the much larger .38. The only way that can happen is increased pressure. A bit like the .45-70 compared to the .458 Win. Mag.  Bill T.
