Ammo Finds - Post them here

[303lithgow]

Well I'm positive mine's legit.... I got it from a major vendor a few years ago.
So no dice on sending it to you to safely dispose of 303. I was born at night, but not last night!!
The 855 stuff might be questionable in some LEO's eyes as it designated penetrator tip which they may interpret as armor piercing.
But this is the rimfire finds so we've digressed substantially from topic here.

I'm having buying withdrawals and need to score some .22LR quick.

You are over thinking it. Weekends are slow and you'll pick up one zee two zees here and there. Enjoy your weekends. Monday's there is a 50/50 chance for a frenzy. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays be on your toes. Since I'm om a 22lr buying hiatus, and looks like we have a lot of active contributors right now, here's a clue...Thunderbolts!!!

I've had good luck on Sundays. Especially in the late evening.

Gander Mountain $10 off orders of $100 use code: GMT10

http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Subsonic-Rimfire-22-Ammo-38-Grain&i=419136&aID=513C4&merchID=4006&source=linkconn&lct=s&cID=GSHOP

Maybe you can find some other stuff too.

I've not used Gander, but there are two notes of interest on that offer .. 3) One $9 surcharge will be added to orders containing ammunition, and 5) Additional discounts do not apply.

So it's possible that the $10 GMT10 discount cannot be applied to offset their egregious ammo "Surcharge" of $9.

Since the M-14 and M-60 have both been "basically" retired from our arsenal, perhaps the difference between XM80 and M80 is no longer significant. I read one blog where the author said that the "X" means it's re-manufactured .. really .. lol. The only consensus I've found is .. that LC 7.62x51 Brass is excellent for reloading.

I still think Gander is the better value than Midway or Cabela's just based on the fact that they have limits of ten instead of one. Free shipping over $50, and if you make it to $100, a ten dollar deal sounds even better. Even with the $9 surcharge. And yes, LC 7.62 brass commands a good price for resale. Sold a bunch off earlier this year

I will agree but with the caveat that your ammo arrives in good condition. Last time GM might as well shipped the ammo loose inside of a small cardboard box...

Interesting that most of the auctions are for sellers from OH and AL, maybe a few from FL... only one from Valencia, CA... I think people mad about "hoarders" on CALGUNS are a bit out of touch or a lot. This isn't the only forum and regulars here account for a very tiny percentage of the purchases... in fact, we miss most of the deals.

Whether you prep for your family, your kids, yourself, or your scout troop... it is your business. More power to you. I did get annoyed by flippers earlier on, but as the word gets out about ammo availability online, it is more of a lack of knowledge on the part of the buyers. It is to the point where there is no excuse for paying too much unless you so rich it doesn't matter to you. But I still wouldn't buy ammo out of a trunk at Applebee's or whatever. If I was loaded I would just pay a roomful of nerds to click for me.

My experience with the app was not good. It seemed to allow all sorts of things until it actually got to the point of the buy. Then everything changed..amounts, OOS.

I gave away a few ammo crates full of 240N spent 7.62x51 to some friends at a local range.. they were only able to use less than half of it so be cautious where you get it from.. I usually had MWR or other recycling available on base but not always.. when we didn't we tried to give it away to the nearest interested parties with the least effort.. actually filled an entire dumpster with 40mm aluminum casings from mk19 exhaust due to lack of recycling available.. and as I've mentioned, I would stomp the nuts of any of our staff caught selling range litter.

This kills me here.....I take it you work/ed for the .mil or .gov?
I undrstand that its not always economically feasible to recycle everything all the time, especially in the field. But for static locations such as shooting ranges and training areas it would make sense to try to offset costs, especially on the scale our govetnment plays/practices. I know the entire contractor, supplier chain is so convoluted that civilian contractors probably figure its not worth the hassle to deal with even getting set up to make a few pennies in the long run. Just another example of government waste. Yet they push recycling, energy efficiency, green buildings, etc. And yes I agree about selling on your end it would be essentially stealing. Even though it is cast offs. Like people taking stuff from curbside recycle bins.
