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.

You aren't seeing correctly.

Maybe he is seeing like GunBot where they cite Buds as having .45ACP
for 25 cents a round and it is $24.99 a 50 round box.
That liberal arts guy should have taken a little more math ;-)



Math *is* one of the liberal arts. If only you boys had had a bit of
kollidge.

Math 101. The stuff you should have learned in grammar school.

I did say "a little more math".
I assume reading is a liberal art too.


I don't know what the requirements are these days, but when I got my
first "liberal arts degree" four courses in college level math were
required. The assumption was, however, that you learned basic math in
grammar school or earlier. Whether the fellas at Bud's or GunBot took
any math in order to sell guns or ammo, well, who knows.
