Ammo: Stocking Up

[Loopwell]

In CA, it's always a good time to stock up on everything gun related, especially ammo and components.

Push comes to shove, you can always drive to Vegas and pick up ammo in bulk.

What if our Agricultural check points started checking for more than just illegal bananas?

I have been considering reloading for a very long time, but every time I do the math, I can barely reload cheaper than online vendors like SGAmmo and Freedom. My target reloading calibers are 9mm, 223, 38 spl, and 357 mag. I check MidWay for raw material prices. I have been saving brass cases for a while. I have around 1k cases for 38 spl and 357 mag, 3k cases for 9mm and 223. I just need to find cheaper raw materials to start reloading.

American Reloading had some good sales (50% off) on pulled bullets. Wish I bought more 45 bullets ($65/1k, shipped).

I am buying ammo every paycheck,

Been buying a bit every couple of paychecks for some time now...amazing (and satisfying) how it starts to add up.

Always make my purchases with cash.

I shot about 300 rds of 9mm, 250 rds of 45, and 150 .223 today, collected all the brass added it to the pile and now I don't know what to do with it all in f it. I don't reload currently. Guess I could hold onto it and learn to reload.

Every trip to the LGS or WallyWorld I pick up at least a box of 45, 9, 30-06, or 5.56/223.

You could either give it to someone who reloads or trade it in for a credit for reloaded ammo from Freedom Munitions.

Thanks! I will check that website out. I think the hardest for me is to find low cost powder. I will have to find that locally, because if I order from online vendors they slap on a big fee for delivering powder.

I get way better prices on line than Miwall at Crossroads. Plus I don't pay to $15 to enter, $10 to park, gas and sales taxes too.

Speaking of stocking up, where are you favorite places to buy if you don't reload? I typically wait for a sale, etc. or check gunbot.net for who has the best prices.

SG Ammo
Target sports USA
Natchez (only when good sale)
Palmetto (only when good sale)
Gander mountain (only when good sale)

[CalAlumnus]

I prefer SGAmmo, or Cabelas during a good sale. Both ship UPS which allows you to hold ammo shipments at UPS Stores or the local hub.

Have a few shipments on the way from Gander Mtn, and they shipped FedEx. Not sure how I'm going to receive them. Delivery folks won't leave boxes at my house, and FedEx won't let me pick it up.

[Tokarevman]

Are there any handguns on the roster that use either? Or is it strictly a C&R thing?

The Polish P-83 is not a C&R handgun.
You can use a Tokarev conversion drop in barrel in a new production 1911.

BTW, 380 is much older than 9mm mak.

Yeah, I can't understand the attraction in going to a gun show to buy ammo. In addition to your reasons, transporting 10s of thousands of rounds is a PITA.
