I got this email from Detroit Ammo Co. yesterday. My reload membership has saved me a lot more than $99 a year on shipping since I got it. Instead of buying a bunch of ammo to meet a minimum amount for free shipping, I just get a couple of boxes a lot of the time.

I looked out the window of my back door today and there was a small box setting there. FedEx dropped it off and I didn't know what was in it. It was a box of Lehigh XD ammo in .45 ACP that I forgot I ordered. I got it from Detroit Ammo Co. for the same price Lehigh sells it for, $35.99. Too bad I didn't get these on sale. It uses a 135 gr. Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense solid copper bullet at 1,250 fps from a 5" barrel. That works out to be 468 ft/lbs, and that's from real gun, not a test barrel which usually have higher velocities. That's pretty good for not being a +P round. And it should be over 600 ft/lbs from a 16" barrel if anyone shoots them from a carbine. They're made for defense like the name says, and don't have the incredible penetration their Xtreme Penetrator bullets are known for. Like going all the way through 2 blocks of ballistic gel in 9mm. They also make Controlled Fracturing 170 grain bullets in .45 ACP. They're $56.95 per box of 20, and I won't be buying them anytime soon. That uses a 170 grain bullet at 1050 fps, for 416 ft/lbs of energy. That's not bad, but it's only 5 ft/lbs more than Winchester claims for its 185 grain Silvertip at 1,000 FPS. That was one of the best .45 loads available before all of the gee-whiz "magic bullets" were made to pass the FBI test protocols.

Finally, something I want on sale 20% off at Detroit Ammo Co. I just ordered half a case, 250 rounds, of .45 ACP ball ammo. I have no use for the other 7 items on sale.

Sportsman's has wwb  556 for 11.69 a box of 20 until mid night  tonight.  That's about 58 cent each.   Not great, but still cheaper that most places on line even with higher quantities. Atleast when you factor in shipping.  I bought  200  mainly for the brass as new lake city Winchester brass is about .35 cents each.   Going to put it towards my recreating mk 262 mod 1 c project.  I have one ar that I built for it that shoots sub half inch for 5 shots.   My best was a .34" for 3.   It probably  shoots better than I do in it.

I just ordered one box each of 6 12 Gauge High Velocity Slugs- 2 3/4″ 1oz., and 6 12 Gauge Light Recoil Slugs- 2 3/4″ 1oz. $24.99 each, minus 12% Black Friday discount. Suitable for smooth and rifled barrels. 1.5″ Expansion! :o 8)  They also have hard to find calibers like .357 Maximum (but too long for revolvers) and 500 Auto Max (a rimless 500 S&W Magnum), and old military rifle and pistol calibers like 8mm Lebel (the first smokeless powder cartridge to be made and adopted by any country) and 8X22mm Nambu (first used during the Russo-Japanese War 1904-05).

I just made my final ammo purchase of the year. Mixed Factory 22 LR 1000ct+ bag Loose, $40.00 each X2.

1000ct Plus (done by weight) which will be over 1000pcs is mixed 22 Long Rifle, 22 Long, 22 Short, and some others like Mag, birdshot, blank etc.. These come from Estate purchases where there are multiple boxes missing even a few rounds which we dump into a bulk mixed 22 boxes. its great ammo for you to take to the range and shoot. there maybe some collectable 22 rounds in there as well!

Detroit Ammo Co. has primers, but I don't know if these are good prices. 1,000 Federal Small Rifle Primers, 1,500 Fiocchi Small Rifle Primers or Small Pistol Primers for $99.99. 1,000 RUAG Large Rifle Primers for$10 more, and 2,500 RWS Leadfree Small Pistol Primers for $274.97. They have gunpowder too, but I remember a few of you were looking for primers before.

I got my 2,000+ rounds of bulk .22 ammo today. But it wasn't all .22 ammo. There was an old .22 bullet, 2 fired .22 cases, a BBCap, and something even smaller than that, a blank I guess, 6 .223(?) caliber rifle bullets, and 7 rounds of .25 ACP, 5 FMJs and 2 of these Expanding Points that don't expand. Those have one pellet of #8 steel shot in the nose. WTH am I supposed to do with.25 ACP ammo? They sold it by weight and I might be a little shy of 2,000 rounds after I took the .25 ammo, .223 bullets, and trash out. I have more blanks and .22 Shorts than I expected, and only 2 .22 WMR, but I knew there was a possibility of getting any amount of any .22 rimfire that was mostly .22 LR. I need to take a closer look at it and pick out the remaining .22 Longs. I don't expect them to cycle my Mark I or Mk II pistol, or my 10/22 carbine, but my NAA Mini can eat it all. I have some CCI rat shot in the bunch and some things that may be blanks but could also be Ramset power loads. Some look like they're .22 LR crimped blanks with a shoulder down low that will fit in a .22 Short. ??? Some of the crimped cases my be blanks or rat shot. I thought I shot a blank in my mom and dad's basement a LONG time ago and heard pellets flying across the room hitting things. :-[  I just chalk that up to s**t happens, and that's not what I expected to find in the gun cabinet.

Big Frank, if they're "Ramset" they will have a paint code to verify the power.
