Ammo

Target Sports USA has Federal Lake City 1K round loose bulk box for $380. Free shipping on the case + the $5 for insurance. That's about $40 less expensive than I paid for 1K rounds of Wolf Gold from Wideners.

Take it from a guy who used to run around all over the physical world and the Matrix looking for ammo. Save up some $$$. Find somewhere like Target Sports USA that offers free shipping on a case of ammo. Buy by the 1K round case. The first time I did it, it felt like a punch to the nuts. I just spent enough money to pay for an entry level semi auto pistol. The benefit comes from not buying here and there, paying full retail, or when buying online paying the shipping.

While the dollar amount of a single ammo purchase receipt went up, the frequency of ammo purchasing slowed considerably.
 
I don't mean to incite a panic. This is just a reminder. Remember what happened a month ago when the Obama administration attempted to regulate away green tip 5.56 via ATF decree? 2016 is a presidential election year. Hillary Clinton is now in the running to be the Democratic party nominee. Stock up on ammo while it is still readily available at a good price. Buy that firearm or firearms that you've been hankering for while supply is relatively high and prices are relatively low. Buy standard capacity pistol / rifle magazines while supply is high and prices are low.

It's up to you to ensure that you have what you need to continue participating in and enjoying the shooting sports. Don't become one of those unprepared whiners who bandy about the terms "gouging", "hoarder", "ammo-stalker", advocate that a communist/socialist system be applied to ammunition. Don't be one of those people who call me all sorts of unkind names because I had the foresight to prepare. You know why? I kind of get a kick out if it. It does not bother me a whit that someone who hasn't figured it out by now is whining about not having ammo.

I too ordered 4 boxes last weekend to get in on the NRA sale and free shipping. It was my first order ever from PSA. I placed the order on Saturday morning (Apr 11). UPS delivered the package today (Apr 17). That's only 6 days, fast enough for me. And the price was right, 33.3¢ per round. Thanks for the heads up.

I just ordered the same ammo from them yesterday. Five boxes (90 rds each) for $29.99 with free shipping. If I get it within 10 days I'll be happy. :)

Gah. Japes. Japes. Such a bad influence. I was going to put my extra money into stocks but i may have to buy guns and ammo.

Think part of the election campaign the issues will focus on gun control?

The sad thing is that it won't even take one of the candidates actually mentioning gun control for another scare to happen. All it takes is for a Democrat to lead in the polls for the rumors fly that guns are in danger. I wasn't on any gun forums then but I remember friends who freaked out on the serial numbers on ammo scare. I don't know if it caused a panic on ammo buying or not but the people I know who believed it were buying up ammo and running scared.

Bad influence? Moi? No way. You guys over in the AK thread in the General Firearms & Knives sub-forum are the bad influence. I had a faint interest in Commie Ruskie rifles and their silly 7.62 x 39 tapered cartridges, then I stumbled into that thread... :D

Oh I put my extra money into retirement investments. I save up my monthly discretionary budget to do the fun stuff...like buy a case of 7.62 x 39 before buying an AK-47 or AK-M.

Not at all. The entire campaign will focus on election donation reform, limiting the amount of money lobbyists, domestic and international corporations can contribute to any single politician. They'll focus on judicial reform, mainly on returning sentencing discretion to judges and eliminating mandatory sentencing terms. They'll also focus on defining and limiting the activities of the DHS and TSA. They'll also remind the voting citizenry that the Office of the President of the US is actually the least powerful of the three branches, the most powerful being congress which represents the people. They'll also start the ball moving on term limits for U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressman. No more career politicians.

Gun control? They won't bring that up.

I got a bit of schooling over the winter from the owner of a local convenience store who knows more than a little bit about stamps and coins. He's always wheeling and dealing the old stuff. When I learned that the actual metallic value of a SB Anthony or a Sacajawea dollar coin was about 5 cents I bagged my entire collection of them and bought ZQI 5.56 ammo at Walmart with it.

SGAmmo just notified me that they have more .223 Wolf Gold brass cased ammo in stock: 1000 round case - 223 Rem 55 Grain FMJ Brass Case Non-magnetic WOLF GOLD AR-15 Ammunition | SGAmmo.com

As I press the "post" button on this they have 38 cases left in stock.

The SGammo website must be getting hammered. It's slow to respond.

I picked up a bulk case of Federal .223 from Target Sports USA. Order by the case, and the ammo ships free. It's what I try to buy when I can't get Wolf Gold. The pro is that since it's .223, no crimped primer pockets on the brass.

You mnow i shot my steel cased ammo. People talkrd about how dirty it was but when i went to clean it, it didnt seem so dirty
 
My guess is that were finally seeing the result of the end of the West Coast port worker's strike. The backlog of ships and existing containers dockside are finally starting to clear up.

FYI. Just received my order today from Palmetto. Eight days from order to doorstep. I do like the fact that I didn't have to get 1000 rds in order to get a good price.
