I know the rules, but it seems such a waste of time to post any pics of things we have all seen before, even in a very limited degree. However, it may be interesting for some people who frequent this forum to know that its who your know, not who you blow.
Today, my score at the LGS was: 1000 rounds of Privi Partisan 55 grain brass cased .223 ammo at $337 dollars out the door. 500 rounds of PMC 230 grain .45 acp out the door for $211. These prices include state sales tax of nearly 7%. Keep in mind here, that this stuff did not leave the office desk of the manager of this store that technically is also, and specifically a hardware store. I got the phone call and thats twice he has called me in the last thirty days. It is my humble opinion that this is the new normal for ammo prices so its not going to hurt to start getting used to it. Still, these prices arent bad when taking into consideration atrocious UPS shipping charges to buy on line. |

| Yes, that Privi is the first I have seen of that stuff and just looking at it, I was impressed. It will be interesting to see how it performs. I have had good luck with Privi in .303 British. Its for sure lots better looking stuff than Wolf or Tula and seems on a par with black and white box Federal bulk pack .223. |

I have a couple cases saved back and one I've gone through about half of. Just a little tick below LC M193 in accuracy, for me anyway. Seems to be about the same velocity. Really good stuff. The red primer sealant will make your bolt face look like it's wearing lipstick.. lol ... But it comes right off with a brush of Hoppes. |
