Hunter/Gatherer Brings Ammo News From The Wilderness.

[cslinger]

In case it matters to anybody Wally World is now selling 100 round bulk packs of 230 grain .45 ACP FMJ USA ammo. I kept hearing rumors of .40 S&W bulk packs but .45 ACP threw me for a loop.

Anyway it is $19.97 per 100 rounds. That is pretty cheap for factory .45 ammo.

Hope this brings joy to some of your days.

Gimme gimme! I'll check that out ASAP, I pay slightly more than that price for South African Surplus (PMP commercial boxed from Century Arms), and I'm just about out...

Holy moly! Makes me glad I reload!

That actually ain't bad - Let's see... $2 for primers, $10.89 for brass (Remington on sale from Midway, assuming 1/10 of 1,000 rounds), and $9.69 for bullets (Win 230 FMJ, same source).

Figure a buck for 1/10 a pound of surplus AA5, assuming 7 grains/round (DO NOT USE THIS INFO TO FIGURE LOADS).

I think the cheapest bullets I saw were around $6/100 or so, but they were cast lead.

Great news. I have been waiting for this. I am a mass consumer of their 9mm 100 bulk packs already

 

[Delmar]

Figure out the price of the brass and it gets bettah!

 

[Mike Irwin]

USA?

The Remington stuff?

Overpriced, if that's the case.

Hmmmm.....
Last time I looked at Wally World the USA [AKA Winchester White Box] was around $13-$14 per 50, so $20/100 is even better.

I had a bunch of .45ACP reloaded, worked out to about $8.50/50, using my brass. The USA 100-packs are looking better all the time.

I pick up my brass for free off the ground at the range (2000 so far)
I use hogdon clays powder 4.3 grains $16.50 per pound

CCI large pistol primers $12 per thousand

Cast lead bullets $14 for 500

Old ammo boxes free out of range trash

Dillon RL 450 I found in pieces at a pawnshop for $60

Dillion refurbished the press (free)

powder 1.5 cents per round

Primer 1.2 cents per round

Bullet 2.8 cents per round

$2.75 per box of 50

I have had no problems with barrel leading and accuracy has been superb.


I may go to walmart and get 100 for carry ammo because I have been told by cops not to use my reloads for CCW.

jsalcedo
Did the cops tell you not to use reloads from a performance standpoint or was it a legal thing?

 

[jsalcedo]

They said the fact I used reloads would not be helpful if I ever went to court.

I guess a prosecutor could say I was crafting poison lead bullets
in the hopes of giving the bad guy genetic defects.

Mike Irwin,

USA?

The Remington stuff?

Overpriced, if that's the case.

No, that's UMC.

USA is Winchester "White Box".

 

[keyhole]

I understand that if you carry Cor-Bon, and involved in a shooting, they will have someone there to represent the ammo, if the case goes to trial. Always better to carry factory for defense, than your own loads.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Whoops...

Duh...

You're right...

OFF TO WALLY WORLD!
