    Hell yes it is worth it. If not for the savings, it gives an an extra edge in accuracy and recoil management. Merry Christmas to all!!!!

      Ho Ho Ho! Nice pic.

      Plus, that feeling of pride and self-reliance you get when you finish off a few boxes is very satisfying:

            I don't see any "extra". I see 43 rounds missing!

            Isn't "extra ammo" an oxymoron?

              Everything is supposed to be in perfect batches of 50.
              So while his excessive packaging shows 43 missing, it could be that he's just over-boxed for the last 50 rounds.

                unless you can provide links with those bullet prices they don't exist

                please if someone can beat $75 per thousand let me know
                i ordered from here and bought 2k they ship in a $9 flat rate so thats where i get the $75



                when we are talking to beginners you have to live in the now because thats where they are

                First try, $40/1000

                  LOTS of people have ordered those bullets, but nobody ever actually receives them.
                  They are good about running credit cards right away though.

                    I can't remember what happened there... I think I ran out of bullets, or maybe it was clean brass.

                      its always something we run out of

                      i have this problem that i'm pretty good about keeping my bullets and primer count the same

                      but if the bullet company throws in a couple extras or a mush a primer in sideways

                      now i got little baggies of a couple extra bullets each that i have to wait till i have 100 of so that it will match a box of primers

                      you think that is bad you should see my sock drawer

                      ps i like that ak buttstock attached to i assume 20% of a receiver

                        Its another aspect of the shooting hobby that has benefits beyond mere cost savings.

                                Seems like if the gov decides to do their huge tax increase on ammo that it might be almost necessary for some of us to keep shooting.
