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,

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

Usually the deals on commodity ammo like the military calibers are
found on the internet and in "can" quantities, battle packs or 1000
rounds depending on where they are coming from,.

The $8.49 was cheaper than the 1000 can.

That's the really high priced solution.

So not only do zombies entertain your fantasies but you hallucinate about actually shooting them? Krause, you need to report to a mental health facility immediately!

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.

Speaking of ammo..... I have some approx. 30 year old 20ga shotgun shells and 22lr shells from the same vintage.
Still safe to use?

Yes Don. Should work with no problem. I have vintage surplus .303 British dating 1947 that's just as good as the day it was packed

Examine the shotgun shells carefully, especially if they are paper
hulls. Look for any sign of water vapor (high humidity) damage, or loose
fits.
