$10.99 9x19, might as well start a new thread

Central Ohio shop has Norma advertised @ $10.99 a box. Given inflation that is pretty close to the $10 a box question that was asked a few months ago. That's real close to not being worth reloading if you are buying projectiles.

I was at that shop this morning. I can't exactly explain why, but there is a flimsy feeling to the rounds. I assume the guns won't complain. But I didn't buy any!

I bought several boxes of Norma 9mm brass cased ammo a few months back. They dependably go bang and shoot accurately. The primer flash hole in the brass case is on the small size, such that a standard decap pin will get stuck while poking the spent Boxer primer out. If you do not reload, the flash hole size is a non-issue.

Here in the Burgh; Dunham's has Winchester on sale 100 for $27.99. Regular $39.99

$14/50

Great price!
Although I have a lot of 9mm, at $11, I'd probably buy 10+ boxes.

I stock components for loading 9mm as a backup / emergencies. Since I don't load in large quantities (20 - 100), I still use my trusty Rockchucker. Being very methodical, it would take me a few hours to load 50 roads.

Unless the projectiles felt loose in the cases how does ammo feel "flimsy"?
;-D Was the brass so thin you could squeeze it like a popsicle?

I passed on the Re-Man $10 - 9mm at the Gun Show.
But I would definitely buy some Factory Norma at this price.

I still have plenty of .16 per round 9mm that I stocked up earlier. Bought it cheap, and stacked it deep.

I got so bored during COVID that I actually loaded up several thousand 9x19. I didn't feel it was a total waste because I used home cast bullets, some old $20/K primers and I had the spare time.
