Ammunition Prices.....
« on: February 25, 2017, 07:19:59 AM »
As stated in a previous posting, I buy a little bit of ammunition every week.  Yesterday, I stopped by may usual haunt, Cabela's.  The prices were no lower than they were last fall.  Some were even higher by a cent or two per round.

I guess I'll just have to save each week the amount I would normally spend, and when I get to that point, make a bulk ammo order from one of the online retailers.  Gunbot has been showing some pretty decent pricing lately.

I am OCD enough that I have to have the same brand of ammuniton.  May be a different brand for each caliber, but everything in that caliber HAS to be of the same brand, bullet weight, and so on.....I'm just kinda sick that way.

It's not OCD it promotes repeatability. same bullet from same barrel should hit same place right.

I am OCD enough so that if I'm buying for hunting season or a competition (all seems like distant history now) that I buy not only the same brand, caliber, model and weight....I buy from all the same lot number.

That having been said, do you buy mail order?  I save a ton of money buy from internet sellers.

I have in the past.  Not in the past year or thereabouts. I have a buddy that'll split a shipment with me occasionally.  He just had his 4th child (3rd girl).  I don't think he's buying much ammo for a while.

ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder.  I'm obsessed with buying ammunition, I'm compelled to buy the same brand, bullet weight and etc.  I'm disorderly because, it makes life more enjoyable.

It's sort of like being a liberal without the treason or stupidity.  :-)

That's not "obsession". That's intelligence.

By the way. Midway has P-Mags for just $7.79 each in a 10 pack for $77.99. One day only. The cheapest I've seen them yet.

Saw that this morning, went to the well and bought some buffalo bone grips for the Para Commander.  Had to buy the wife a smart TV to make up for it.  Tapped out for the week. Damnit!!
