Sportsmans Guide seems to be getting ammo in (online). They even had
9mm for 27 cents a round in the last catalog.
I am still waiting for 20 cents before I dive back in the ammo pond.
The hoarders should be running out of room in the bunker and the
manufacturers will overshoot the market.

I bought three boxes of TulAmmo at WalMart for $10.36/50. Steel case,
FMJ, made in Russia. We'll see
if I get any misfires.


I can't really remember the last time I had a misfire.I saw a few at
the skeet range but they were reloaded 12ga. I always shot new ammo.
We were buying it by the pallet at about $2 a box so reloading never
made economic sense to me.


When I used to shoot a lot of trap I reloaded. Only misfires I ever had,
were hulls that had been reloaded too many times, and the primer came out.
Never had a misfire other than some 22 I had. Old, or moisture got in.
Was a box of 50 and probably 40 of them would not fire.


The last time I had a misfire was in Grafenwohr, Germany, firing M728 Combat Engineer Vehicles. The
165mm main gun rounds had an electric primer which failed about 10% of the time, and a
point-initiated, base-detonating fuse, which failed about another 10% of the time. But, they were
fun to shoot anyway.
