Default Oh oh at Walmart

Yep, went to Walmart this morning hoping to grab a 100 pack of UMC 9mm HPs and the lady's putting new price tags on the ammo. The UMCs wasn't there but I pointed to the 100 pack of WWB 9mm 115 FMJs and asked, "This go up?"

She scanned it and said, "Nope, not yet" so I grabbed it. Wished I could buy more before the price increased but only had enough for one 100 pack.

Glad I saved the 100 pack of UMC 40sw 180 HPs from last month.

You should learn to cast bullets and reload. I shoot thousands of cast 9mm bullets per year.

Let me know if I can be a help, just have everyone save their brass for you no matter what caliber, you can always trade for more later. Here is a web sight to start you out Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets! I cast and load many calibers to include 45 acp and 9mm. Now load and shoot 10,000 rounds per year. I couldn't ever afford to shoot this much before. Matt

Sounds good but I don't shoot that much.

I bet you would shoot more if you could afford more ammo, I know I do.

I used to spend $20 a week on ammo because that's what I could afford. I started to reload because I wanted to save money but that didn't happen. I ended up still spending the same $20 on components but i got to shoot 4X as much as I did when I bought factory ammo. So like I said, if you reload you I bet you will shoot more than you do now... (and that can't be a bad thing)
