Ammunitionstore.com added $15/case to their web pricing. Only one guy manning the whole thing, and he wasn't negotiating a dime. I told him it cost less than $15/case to ship. I can go home and order it from you on line, and get it shipped to my door for less than you're willing to sell it to me for right now. Asked him if that made sense to him. Told him I was ready to take XXXXX rounds. He didn't care, seemed like he didn't want to be there. I told him to have fun carrying it out to the truck tomorrow and left. I all ears for whatever ammo deals folks are getting. Need a bunch. |
Same conclusion I came to and I already ordered 2K rounds from Sportsman's Guide. Should be here Monday. $359 with coupon and shipping. |
| I reload both 5.56 and 9mm. For 9mm I reload with 147 gr bullets, so it is cost effective, because this factory ammo with this weight bullet is expensive. Plus, the load I use is quite accurate, and soft recoiling. I have been using the winchester 55 gr FMJBT bullets for .223 but havent been too impressed with the results. I recently loaded up some with 68 gr Hornady HP match bullets, hopefully these will be better. Next up is Sierra match king 69 gr HPBT bullets. Heard lots of good about those. With these premium bullets, its definately cost effective. |

I have a Rock Chucker, hand-clicky primer inserter tool, scale, some dies and some various other do-dads. I've yet to make a single cartridged round. Planning on using it to work up heat seeking laser death ray .308 rounds. I'll get to it eventually. I have a 12 ga shot shell loader. I've used that; used to shoot clays a couple years ago. Roloading shotshells was roughly cost neutral. |
pretty hard toreload for less than the price of good surp. especially if you consider your time spent. |
Now that's funny.... I live about 4 blocks from that place.... Last time I was in there they didn't have much of anything so I haven't gone back in a while.... When I get a chance to shoot it's usually either at my sister's farm, just north of Oakfield or at a quarry that a buddy of mine works at south of Fond du Lac. I'm looking for a good place closer... As far as what,it depends what I bring with me  I have 3 AR's, an SAR1, SKS, CETME (which I haven't got a chance to even take out yet) several .22 rifles and a assortment of handguns from .22 to .44mag...Have you got a good place closer??? I looking into joining the Van Dyne Sportsman's Club which would be a bit closer.... |
| I am a board member at www.springbrooksports.com and I shoot there quite a bit. The website will show you where it is, and you will notice that this year we have started a practical pistol shoot. |
