Now that availability of ammo is on a (slight) upswing, I was able to acquire some .223 at a reasonable not so horrible price.

Who has active carbine classes in the near future?

Seriously?  No classes happening in the next few months?

Erik and I will be doing something in the near future. We just sorta backed off a little until the ammo shortage lightened up some. Sounds like it may be.

Shep is always doing something too.

I'm planning on doing a 2-day class on August 24-25.  One day will be pistol and the other will be carbine.  You will be able to take one, the other, or both of the classes.

Understood, and the three of you are my primary source of training.  Since y'all haven't posted much up recently, I was looking for back up options.

As for ammo, still haven't been able to get .223 for much less than $.50 cpr and 9mm for $.35 cpr.  Not sure when it will go back to 2010-11 prices (and I doubt we'll ever seen pre-2008 prices again).

Good to know - I will keep an eye out for them all.

Dixie Ammo Dump has M855-spec ammo for something like $420 per 800rds. I bought 2 of them, min had 822 and 823 rounds in them. Loaded in LC brass and comes in an OD green dry lock box.

DJ,

Your SBR is in 300BLK right?  You finding any of that anywhere?

It is. I bought a thousand subsonic rounds last year, hoping prices would fall as production ramped up.

Instead, we got 4 more years of Pres. Douchenozzle and prices have instead gone up.



If you follow the ammo tracking threads, 300BLK come up occasionally. However, it's usually gone before I see the update. Instead, I've bought about 3500-4000 rounds of .223 for training. I'll load up on blackout when the scare is over.

Email Jamie Wiedeman at oddly enough [email protected]. He is doing some classes now and is working on getting his web page built. He is a retired Sergeant Major from Army Special Forces and worked in the industry for a while.

Bass Pro had a good amount of 556, the manufaturer is Independence, 20 rd box  $10.97 a box ( if I remembere correctly)  but I think they still have a 2 box limit per caliber.

 I got lucky about two weeks ago, stopped in Walmart in Ala, across state line and found 9mm Winchester white box so I got 2 100 rd boxes.
