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.







Was picking up stuff at the gun store today. $22 45 acp 50 rounds. $8.49



for 20 rds 5.56.



I've got about 5000 rds of 7.62x39 Chinese still in the 'ham cans.'

bought at quantity at approx .05c a shot and surplus military ball 5.56

approx 2000 rd at .10c a throw. Of course that's not today's prices. I

bought that stuff 20 yrs ago



And I still have some 22lr that was probably $0.50 or less a box.

Yep. I still have several boxes boxes labeled .50c


I'm sure I have some socks that old.
Midway had good quality CCI .22lr ammo at .04 a round this morning.
That's about where it was before the crazies started hoarding a few
years ago. We'll know we're back to normal times, though, when CCI 40
grain minimags are around $5 for a box of 100.
