I've got an idea.  We could pool our resources as a forum of fellow shooters and open an online ammunition company.  We can buy our ammo at cost and sell at a reasonable price to help other shooters out.  Heck, if we maintained a zero profit, zero loss status, we would save ourselves a ton in ammo cost.  Yeah, I know its wishful thinking, but hey, where would we be without a dreamer here and there?   ;D

[BACK TO AMMO.  WELL AT LEAST RELOADING COMPONENTS.]


Purchased 500 .40S&W LSWC last Feb for $35.   Went to the same store in September with box top in hand (so I would make sure to get the exact same brand) and the new boxes were marked $81.   I called the clerk over told him about the serious mislabeling.   He laughed and said they were gonna raise the prices another 5% next week, so I had better buy now.

EHHHHHHHHH!   Went on-line, found the manufacturer, who sells direct at serious discounts.  Bought 2000 rounds, (that's ~50#) for under $125.   Shipped!

For 4 boxes at a time they use USPS flat rate shipping.  My USPS lady murmured something about needing a chiropractor when she dropped my box off.

WARNING:  The prices listed are MSRP.   You have to call to ask for specials.
