I'm trying out the CCI "Quiet" in the middle, on top of the Mini Mags, in my "silenced" .22LR semi-auto rifle. It's a pretty weak round and I've had a few cycling failures with it, but not many.

According to a neighbor who buys ammo at Walmart, he's paying a lot more than I do from mail order sources, even when you roll in shipping. I believe I paid $13 a box for 50 rounds of .38 Special the last time I bought some. Neighbor bought .223 Federals at Walmart, paid nearly .50 a round. They are about .30 a round mail order. Best of all, you don't have to deal with Walmart. Wal Mart sells .223 from various makers at various prices, just as do the internet folks. I've yet to see *anything* on the internet cheaper than the same stuff at Wal Mart, especially if shipping is additional. Walmart overcharges for decent, brass casing, non-metallic .223 ammo. My neighbor says the only time he sees that sort of ammo at Walmart, its the Federal, at $59 for 120 rounds. That's about $20 more than the big mail order suppliers, many of whom charge the actual UPS charges for shipping and don't rip you off. I don't use the cheap, ferrous Russian .223 ammo Walmart usually has. I also don't use the Remington "El Cheapo" .22LR ammo Walmart sometimes has, or the standard quality .357 MAG ammo Walmart almost never has. How do I know what Walmart has in stock? There's an app for that. -- Proud to be a Liberal. |

I'm down to my last box of .38 Specials. Not sure I am going to order any more. That's a speedloader on top of the PMC ammo boxes...with six rounds of Honady Critical Defense ammo in .357 MAG. It's a good anti-zombie round. Sounds like a hobby you enjoy! Wal Marts sells .38 Specials at a good price. There's one over near you. According to a neighbor who buys ammo at Walmart, he's paying a lot more than I do from mail order sources, even when you roll in shipping. I believe I paid $13 a box for 50 rounds of .38 Special the last time I bought some. Neighbor bought .223 Federals at Walmart, paid nearly .50 a round. They are about .30 a round mail order. Best of all, you don't have to deal with Walmart. Wal Mart sells .223 from various makers at various prices, just as do the internet folks. I've yet to see *anything* on the internet cheaper than the same stuff at Wal Mart, especially if shipping is additional. It's ok John.. It was only a harrytale... Dunno, I see some pretty good ammo prices online and they seem to have most stuff in stock these days. Oh, I'm sure there are more choices online than at Wal Mart, but Wal Mart, at least here, has much more of a selection than Krause suggests. And, that's especially true of .223. Seems like that's all they have sometimes. My neighbor reports that Walmart has two types of .223 ammo: On occasion, decent Federal in brass cases with non-ferrous bullets, at about .50 a round. Same ammo, .32 a round on line. ****ty Russian "Tula" and variants, steel cased with ferrous bullets. Cheaper than the Federal, eats your barrel. According to the neighbor, Walmart typically has .45 ACP ammo, usually has 9 mm ammo, never has .357 MAG ammo, and if it has .22LR ammo, it's the cheap bulk stuff. And of course buying on line means you're not buying at Walmart. I wouldn't be surprised if the locals in your neck of the woods are hoarding all the ammo they can. That enables them to take pictures of all their ammo to post on the internet. It's kind of like a 'big dick' thing, as I'm sure you're aware. Whoever's got the biggest pile wins. Hoarding? Hardly. We Southern Maryland Yankee Rednecks shoot our ammo. This week, I bought 1000 rounds of Wolf Gold at .28 a round, plus $16 for shipping. That was $296 for 1000 rounds for brass cased, FMJ non-ferrous ammo, or 29.6 a round, including shipping. Similar Federal ammo at Walmart would have cost just under $500, plus sales tax. There are advantages in buying your ammo in bulk. -- Respectfully submitted by Justan Laugh of the day from Krause "I'm not to blame anymore for the atmosphere in here.
