Ammo deal of my life!

[Grayfox]

Sorry, but I gotta brag on this one.
I watch the for sale adds for ammo. I think I just made the deal of my life. Found this on my state shooting forum. Saw the ad, contacted the guy. Turns out he used to be a competitive shooter. He retired, sold his guns, but had beau coup 38 Super ammo left over that he needed to get rid off. We worked out a deal. I had to drive 100 miles to get it, but it was worth the trip.
56 boxes of 38 Super ammo. Two were some commercial reloader I never heard of, but all the rest was new in the box factory ammo. That's 2800 rounds. . I got the whole lot for $700. That breaks down to $0.25 per round.
I may never have to buy or reload any 38 Super again for the rest of my life.

Good deal - I would buy a 38 super for a stash like that.

Nice find....right place at the right time!

My 38 Super was inherited from my Dad in 1989, and ammo was difficult to find for it locally back then. When I did find it, it cost about that much way back then! It's the gun & caliber that got me started in reloading, as I saved all of my brass.

Congratulations on the find! I've got a few boxes of those Silvertips left myself. "You done good!" as we say here in Kentucky!

I tend to shoot more, depending on the amount of ammo I have on hand. Unless you're ninety years old, that may not translate to a lifetime supply.

I would not have believed there was that much .38 Super ammo in America! WOW!

 

[Dvus]

Great deal! I'm jealous. I'm surprised about not knowing about Magtech, they have been around for decades, though nothing special. I would trust them over the Armscor though.

 

[Valmet]

Wow! That's quite a haul- and an amazing price to boot. 38 Super is such a great, overlooked cartridge IMO.

Major score. Congrats.

 

[stansdds]

25 cents per round is a heck of a deal on 38 Super ammo!

 

[gym cat]

Grayfox - With those five beauties you better start searching for another stash. I think they probably have healthy appetites.
