Ammo Finds - Post them here

[Jimi Jah]

Honestly, right now it's freaking expensive and hard to find powder, if you started now, you can bet on spending at least $1500 for everything you need. A lot of cost up front but worthwhile.

Not for me. I got a Lee kit for $97, .223 dies from Midway for $22, 10 cent 55grain Hornady bullets from Nachez with 2 cent Tula primers and $23 IMR power, my local shop in Carlsbad has it for $32. I added a Franklin $49 ultrasonic cleaner.

Add in all that free brass you guys leave for me and it's pretty cheap.

Weather here in Socal is ok if you like it warm in February.
If it werent for the CRAPPY ice fishing it would be paradise.
What then would be paradise you ask ?
Sitting on a 5 gallon bucket on 15" of ice.
8pm, 50 degrees, coat hat, and gloves stuffed in the bucket.
Coleman lantern lighting up 5 holes in front of you with tiny bobbers in them.
A pile of 12" crappie next to you.
Wearing boots, insulated bibs and a t-shirt.
Thats living boys.

Don' forget the cheap transister radio playing the hockey game or basketball game. Some of the fondest memories describerd right ^^^

So if .223 is in the $.40 range what would you estimate your cost is with free brass? Ballpark it is fine.

For me, time was a huge factor as well as reloading multiple calibers, so my setup was expensive up front. But sure, there are definitely options out there that are going to be cheap around the $300-$500 range for everything. Still a lot of money for some.

I can reload a lead free .223 round for about $0.30 (already had brass),
leaded round $0.15 (already had brass, u can re-use 3-5 x, depending on powder load)

Got ultra lucky yesterday. A buddy was at Wal-mart and they had plenty of .22, since he doesnt have a .22 he got me 2 boxes of 525 Rem GB @21.97 each.

Here's to good friends!

I have a friend who has a few acres on the river and lets us shoot there. He also has teenage boys and I've been trying to call him to see if he wants some ammo...he works a lot but I told his wife.

I imagine he'll say WHAT? You didn't tell me ...to her.

Cheaper Than Dirt has FFF Cans for $20. I snagged all I wanted already, have at it.

In the past week CTD has been posted those over and over.

Each time I logged in - cart was emptied out - and a link was provided offering great deals on other products.

So today, I made sure I was already logged in...using one browser (Chrome) and not logged in using another browser (Firefox).

...this time - following the link resulted in two behaviors:

1. Logged in browser - empty cart - link to "other great deals".

2. Non-logged in browser - items in cart - when logging in for checkout - empty cart - link to "other great deals".

Anyone else experience this?

=8-)

I really don't believe they have ANY of the reasonably priced .22lr they have "for sale." They're just trying to get traffic to their site. They offer the Fresh Fire cans for about $159, think they're really selling the same thing for $20? I don't. They do the same thing with Mini-Mags.

Same experience here, I was on it within a minute and they disappeared upon checkout. Same thing a couple days ago. I'm guessing gunbot is a little slow and people have alertbox/pagemonitor setup with CTD and are already about to check out by the time gunbot people click add to cart.

For those in the Temecula area...Faith Armory got in a massive shipment of .22 last night...at about 10:00AM this morning(an hour after opening), they still had about x30 boxes of AR Tacs 325 bricks, about x20 CCI Mini 300 bricks, at least x100 of CCI Minis 100 packs and about x40 of the 50 packs. They also had a bunch of Armscor 50 packs and other brands.

A few people were grabbing them but not as hot as I would have expected. They do limit to one brick and six <50 packs per customer.
