Hi all, I'm new here. First comment as a matter fact. Just wanted to let you know I bought three boxes of this stuff, Monday and they delivered it today... Happy happy happy!
I was in Cabela's yesterday & to my surprise they had Lawman 127 GR 9mm for $15.99 limit 5 boxes. I got some 40cal S&W for 19.99 as well. So I'm a happy camper for a while. Going out to my fav gun range to shoot me some 9mm.
I am so envious! I just got back from checking my local Wally World and Gander Mountain. WW had virtually nothing but shotgun ammo...GM had some handgun ammo, but only two boxes of 9mm steel case Blazer. I don't like steel, so I passed. I guess I'll keep looking...

The Academy near my home seems to carry a lot of the 40cal S&W. However, the 9mm goes the 1st day if they have any at all. You have to wait outside the store on their shipment days & them maybe get some ammo. I don't like that they limit folks to 1 box per caliber. I'll stick with Cabela's. I've not seen any online for a good while.

I lucked up and bought 100 rounds of Federal FMJ at my local Walmart at 14$ box. They only had 3 boxes and my friend wanted a box as well.

I just spent a couple hours in my basement making up some 45 ACP. With the plated bullets I'm using running 13 cents each my total cost per round is 20 cents, works out to 10 bucks per box of 50.
Later this evening I plan on loading up 40 rounds of 308 using a recipe I tested out this morning. Cost for the Nosler 150 gn Accubond is 25 cents, powder is 18 cents, and the primer is 4 cents. As for the brass, picked up 150 once fired 308 casings for 35 bucks and expect to get a minimum of 10 reloads by neck sizing and running at a moderately reduced pressure. So, if I get 10 cycles from my brass my total cost for 308 will right about 50 cents a rounds, which aint bad at all. Another big plus is that my home brew was shooting 5/8 inch groups at 50 yards and some American Eagle 150 gn FMJ I shot for comparison purposes was shooting at nearly 2 inches.
Point is if you want to shoot, better start saving your brass and think about reloading down the road. It's not that difficult to do, all you have to do is follow the reloading guides, triple check every setup, and pay attention.

Ya'll may already know about this site but I keep my eye on GunBot find 223 5.56 AR-15 ammo in stock. It's a near real time tracker of who has ammo online, along with the prices. Luckily there's plenty of .40 ammo in my area but I use the site to look out for good deals.

Damn, got an error during processing. Probably overloaded with people.

Just ordered 500 rounds of Winchester .40 165grain for $225 from Natchez. First I've seen in stock for awhile.
