Actually very efficient. One .50 BMG hits harder than a dozen of those

The bullet is 700-800 gr with around 14,000 ft/pounds of energy that
can easily reach out 2000 yards for a lousy $4 a round.

I never shoot zombies until I can see their glassily fixed eyes.
Besides, the .357s are about 30 cents each now, and so are the .223s,
and .22LRs can be had for a nickel this week. Prices are indeed dropping.

Any .357 worthy of shooting Zombies is going to be a buck a shot
(Critical Duty, Critical Defense or Buffalo Bore).

I have been watching the price drop and I agree. I am about to
replenish my supply.
If I see any decent 7.62x51 for a quarter I will probably be buying
1000 or two. I am waiting for .45 to be a tad less.
It is the classic, looking for the bottom.
I still have some South African 7.62 in 200 round battle packs that I
paid around a quarter for, during the Bush administration.
I think I paid 22 cents for the .45s I am still shooting my way
through. They are brass and boxer primed but I am not reloading them
so I don't really care.
I did think about breaking out my reloader and cranking out some .38s
when the prices were going nuts. I have the components to load 1000 or
so. I just never had the time. That is for single guys or married guys
trying to get away from the wife.

I've been eyeing a 1000-round case of 55 grain brass .223s...there's
plenty of it around, it's down to 30 cents at some places, and...I'm
keeping an eye on it. I have plenty of .22LR and .357.

I am seeing 5.56 at $382-$420 1000 rds.
