ok I really need to know where you all buy your ammo.
Where I'm at (MS gulf coast) about $10 is the going price for 9mm fmj 50 packs. A box of WWB jhps goes for about $15. The best deal is the $25 Rem UMC jhps in the 100 pack I find at my local walmart every so often. I do swipe a box of that up everytime I see some. The cost of living here might be less than where you are at though.
