Armscor Ammo?

[MikeNice]

I ran across a site selling Armscor .38spl ammo at $0.28 per round.

How is the Armscor ammo? It seems like a great deal for range ammo. However, I'm not sure if it is corosive, consistent, or anything else. Anybody else ever used their ammo at the range?

I've used their .22 target ammo, and its pretty good. I dunno about centerfire though.

What site! I shot some of their .45 ammo a couple months back and it was only $17 a box!!! It was really good stuff, it wasn't overly dirty and the box said it was non-corrosive. I thought it was just as accurate as any other brand I've shot. I'd definitely buy some more

Back in 1970 I was just a little out of the Army. I was at a rundown gunstore in Vacaville, Ca looking at I think Steyer surplus rifles. Owner rolled in with a Sea/Land container covered with water marks. He had gone down to Oakland and purchased a container that got dropped when a crane let go. Man wrote a bad check and needed money bad. Container was full of Armscor ammo and consignee would not accept because of potential damage. He told me more I bought the better deal I would get. I gave him $300 cash to cover his short check. He priced 357 mag out to me at $16.75 a thousand. I shot a lot, traded some, still have a good bit. Never a misfire that I remember or have heard of. I use it in S&W 65-5 and Win trapper 18" barrell. I have always wished it had been in brass not nickel plate cases.

The Armscor .22 I tried worked like a charm. Maybe one FTF on a Kimber .22 1911 conversion out of 200 rounds. Comparable to CCI.

Haven't tried the 38 special yet. Will see how that goes.

Bear, Sports Man's guide has it for $0.27 if you buy 500 or 1000. It is $0.28 a round if you buy lots of 250. A box of 50 is $0.29 per round.

You can get 250 rounds for $69.97. 100 rounds would run $29.00. Shipping is obviously extra.
