I just got off the phone with the boys in Natchez. I made a big order of 9mm and .45 that should cover my shooting activities for some time. They are offering CCI Blazer aluminum for $7.49 in 9mm ball and $11.99 in 45 ball. Blazer shoots well in all my guns, never had an issue with it. In 45 it seems to be hotter than WWB. I do like the idea of blasting a lot of rounds and not feeling guilty about walking away from piles of once-fired brass, even though I don't reload anymore.
The best deal going around here was 50 rd Blazer brass in .45 ($14 and change) and 9mm (almost $9) at Wally World. I've been doing quite a bit of shopping around since I've decided to stock up on ammo for several reasons. I made a purchase from Natchez last week and the shipping brought the cost per rd up a bit, but in quantity they still beat Wally World.
I did the math and talked to the sales rep and the more you buy, the cheaper shipping is. 9mm doesn't weigh much, but 45 does. If you buy in small quantities, you might as well drive to Wally's place. Large amounts, delivered to your door, really save you some money in price, sales tax, fuel and your time. Taking all this into account, Blazer 9mm costs me about 16 cents per rd from Natchez. Blazer brass 9mm costs right at 20 cents per rd from Wally. Not a big deal if you're buying 2-3 boxes, but by the thousand it's a very significant cost saving. It's even better in 45. If you don't have the resources to make a big purchase, a group buy might be a good idea.
It makes sense to me to stock up on ammo since the economic and political situations are tumultuous. Ammo is a good thing to have on hand anyhow if you like to shoot.
