I am traveling for work so went to a gun show in Hampton, Virginia Saturday, $8 with coupon no parking fee. While people were complaining about it being crowded it was nothing like the insanity of the shows in California. I managed to pick x100 pieces of once fired Federal nickel plated brass for $20, a few spare parts for my lower for $6. MagPul 30 round magazines were going for $40, looked at a Colt 20 round Magazine for $25, and ThermaMold 20 rounders were going for $10. All the 223/5.56 I saw was going for $1 per round!
A few days before I did better at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Picked up 2 bulk packs (150 rounds each) of UltraMax 223 at $60 each and 4 boxes (20 rounds each) of PMC Bronze at $9 each for my 6 box limit.
The Local Bass Pro had .224 bullets for reloading. Since plinking with 223 is a thing of the past, for me at least, I’ve been reloading “premium” bullets and limit myself to 40 maybe 50 rounds per trip to the range. I bought 2 boxes of 50 each Barnes Triple-Shock 55gr FBHPs. These are legal to hunt with in California. From the reviews I read on Midways site they will flatten hugs, looking forward to working up loads using Varget from the latest Hodgden Annual. Also got a box of 250 Hornady A-Max 50gr bullets red tip, they are very accurate in my Sport over 26gr of Winchester 748. These I believe are the same as the Z-Max bullets with the green tip. If I see any undead zombie activity in the neighborhood I’ll let you all know how they work out.
Cheers from Virginia,
