If aluminum-cased ammo were less expensive, I'd be more inclined to buy it. I think this week, Academy is selling bulk bucket reloadable brass-cased Remington FMJ 9mm for right around 18 cents per round including sales tax. $180/thousand is not what I (or most anyone else) would consider close to being a great deal for aluminum.

It's been over six months since I bought any, but Wal-Mart was selling steel cased Wolf 9mm for $7.78/box plus tax as its regular everyday price, which is even less than that 9mm aluminum offer or the Academy Remington 9mm price.
