Took the plunge into the world of reloading for my 15.  Lee Breech 50th anniversary kit and all the extra trimmings from CTD plus my first box of Hornady V Max 55g, some odds and ends from Amazon and hope to hit Harbor Freight (digital caliper on sale) and the local gun shop today for powder and primers.  I'm sure I won't have gotten the absolute best price on everything (maybe even not the best components, not sure yet) but a big step from buying factory ammo.  Now where's that darned UPS truck!

Ok, it's not a $1,200 set up but a newbie has to start somewhere

Nice, I went to academy sports tonight and duped myself into getting a 900 round ammo case of m855 on stripper clips for 450. Gander mountain had 312 round packs for 200. Got out of there before I puked. Dicks was already closed, but looks like I'm going there tomorrow

same, I really am set gun wise now with the AR plugging the gap the AK sale left. Now I have my revolvers,pistols,rifles and shotguns pretty much where I want them..im guessing from here on out unless its just trading a gun to get something I like more(1 for 1 replacement) which I will do on a regular basis...I really dont need any more.. now I need to start using my "gun money" for ammo and accessories..and thats fine.

Well, I decided to go and buy another 2K rounds of 5.56x45 today from BulkAmmo.com, ordered 1K of XM855 and another of XM193.  I also checked my powder, primer, brass and bullet supply.  I should be good for the rest of my life barring any major societal upheavals.  Mostly I got this so I can supply friends who may have missed out (and no, I do not gauge my friends, they pay cost or they get this for doing me a favor).

You've been busy, nice find if the price was right. $45-$50 a brick for 22LR is the going rate and way to much for me. I usually pass on the Remington 22LR, especially the Thunderbolt. Had ant issues? I was lucky enough to find 5250 round cases of Federal before the "shortage" hit and bought several at $165 each from a local Gun Shop. I did find a decent deal on some 5.56x45 this week,

TN is one state. Unfortunately the Walmart app doesn't work with PerFecta ammo.  None of the stores in NW GA or SE TN has the really cheap PerFecta.

To stay on topic:

I emptied my walmart of its .300blk Remington (they just had three boxes left).  Went over to PSA where they have the Fiocchi 50rd bricks for $30, got a couple of those, and then ordered a bunch of the S&B 6.8 ammo from PSA that was their daily deal yesterday.
