And Now There's Red, White and Blue.....

[Dave McCracken]

You may recall a couple months back that I wrote about Federal's pink shells. A 1 1/8 oz load, Pinks have the velocity reduced to 1150 FPS, making them a light kicker.These have a portion of their cost going to breast cancer research.

A worthy cause. I bought a few cases and ran them through sundry repeaters. Then I reloaded the empties.

PGC sells them at $66 a case, a good price here and now.

Now Federal has come out with shells to support another worthy cause, The Wounded Warrior Project. This group, if you didn't know, works with injured vets and their families. These,of course, are red, white and blue.

Same price, same quality, near as I can tell.

So, make a difference. Buy Pink, or RWB.

Do youself, and others, a favor while getting good ammo kinda cheap.

What say thee.....

Thanks Dave,

I say I am in for both worthy causes. Wife is a 17 yr survivor, and I was wounded in the Nam. Had two nephews wounded in the sandbox.

It is good to support our own.

I will go out of my way to by either the pink shells or RW&B shells. There is a woman in my trap league that loves the color pink. She got a look at the pink shells last year when I had them and made her husband buy her 5 cases.

Federal is donating to Wounded Warrior?

Well, that Saiga sure is a hungry puppy, better pick up a couple cases for practice.

Where's a good place to buy from online? None of my local places have them.

 

[Dave McCracken]

Thanks,folks.

For, I haven't looked them up, but Midway and Ableammo should carry them.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

Yup, Midway is carrying them.

Thanks, I've been meaning to stock up on some shells. If I can do it with these, even better.

I'll probably pick up a few more boxes of the pink ones (aunt is a survivor since before I was born, so 20ish years), and the RWB ones just because it's another good cause.

I like what Federal is doing (no matter how much profit is or isn't given to the cause).

If any of you are close to a Cabelas they have the Federal Pinks on sale for $60.00 a case. I've been shooting these at PG and they shoot well.

 

[Dave McCracken]

Thanks, folks.

I may pick up a case of RWBs at PGC tomorrow.

Tom, I'll look for you....

I have been a supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project for a little over a year now. I'll definately pick up some RWB. Hell, guess it wouldn't hurt to go pink while I'm at it...

 

[Sentry71]

Definitely getting a case of each. Hopefully they reload nicely as well.

I can't tell who the money for the pink shells goes to. It just says breast cancer research. If it goes to the Susan G Komen Foundation (who in turn gives some of their money to Planned Parenthood) then it's a no-no for me.

They should be more specific. I like to be careful about where my money is going.

 

[Dave McCracken]

DOn't give to the Red Cross then.

As for Komen and Planned Parenthood, less than 1% of P/P''s funds are directed into abortions.

They do much more on women's issues, health,etc.
