.48 cents a round and up.... :'(

.454 Casull???? Silly rabbit: .74 cents a round and UP

But after all, a BFG shooting a 300 grain bullet,....well it shouldn't take many,.... :o
Sad to hear about the .45s. If I do buy the thing, there will be darn few .454s shot through it unless I'm hunting or practicing. I probably put 20 .38s through my Blackhawk for every .357 I fired. Why pay and suffer more when you don't have to?

For some reason big bore pistol ammo always seems over priced. Hot loaded .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and .475 Linebaugh, have always come in as or more expensive than many Magnum rifle rounds. The absolute worst of all is .500 S&W Magnum. Some of the premium stuff in this caliber costs as much as .50 BMG. That makes no sense to me at all. I understand it is a specialized round, but I've seen it as high as $70.00 for a box of 20 rounds. Just insanity.  Bill T.

Wow. That's M885 with the steel penetrator. That's usually a lot more expensive.

Oh, gee, thanks billt, now I have a co-worker and I splitting an order.....My Sig 556 loves this stuff. The hotter the better.

The 62gr. gives a wee bit more thump and is a great round.

It's a very good price. I'm pretty good on .223, but I'm going to stock up on some Com-Block ammo for my AK's and Mosins.  Bill T.

I just got off the phone with Widener's and ordered 2 cases of this stuff. It should ship today. She told me they still have some but it's moving fast. I googled IMI M855 Ammo, and it's unbelievable what some people are selling this stuff for! $360.00 for 1,200 rounds is a steal. IMI makes good ammo. I have a lot of .223, but hardly none M 855.  Bill T.

Great price Billt.  ;)  Been searching sites and comparing prices the past couple of nights. Missed the gun show over the weekend to be able to acquire more ammo. Got lucky at local gun show to be able to pick up 500 rounds of the Federal.

Have not tried the IMI stuff. Was checking out the prices at Midway last night and saw the they had Winchester 1,000 rounds for $378. They had the same amout of Wolf (Crap ammo) for $180 I believe.

Thanks for the tip on where to look Billt. Greatly appreciate it.
