Seriously, I've burned through a lot of ammo in the past
month, and
haven't done any serious reordering.

The three brands of .223 plinking ammo on the right are
pretty much the
same in terms of proper cycling and target results. The
Wolf Gold in the
middle is .27-.28 a round, the least expensive. As far as I
can tell, it
shoots the same as the slightly more expensive American
Eagle on the right.

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. I'll
see how it
works in my semi-auto pistol, once I get the barrel back.
The little red
doohickey on top of the CCI boxes is a thumb loading assist
device for
the Ruger mags.

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.

And your little buddy calls *me* a 'gun nut'! I'll bet even jps is
proud of you.



Hey, I saved $200+ by not shopping at Walmart. :)


Hey you saved $50,000 by not paying taxes! :)

I bet you are supposed to tell the state how much you avoided taxes.

Yes you are.
http://taxes.marylandtaxes.com/Indiv...s_and_Use_Tax/

Sales and Use Tax

Every state that has a sales tax also has a use tax on the purchase of
goods and services as defined by law. State sales taxes apply to purchases
made in Maryland while the use tax refers to the tax on goods purchased out
of state.

Businesses in Maryland are required to collect Maryland's 6 percent sales
tax and or 9 percent alcoholic beverage tax from you whenever you make a
taxable purchase.

Every time you purchase taxable tangible goods from businesses outside of
Maryland, whether in person, over the phone, or on the Internet, the
purchase is subject to Maryland's 6 percent use tax or 9 percent alcoholic
beverage tax if you use the merchandise in Maryland. Maryland' use tax
protects Maryland businesses from unfair competition. Local businesses
would be at a competitive disadvantage if consumers were entitled to a 6 or
9 percent discount on items purchased from out of state businesses.

Learn about it! Get Sales and Use Tax Information for consumers, or get all
the details in the business section.
File it!File a Use Tax Return or to get a credit for sales tax paid in
another state.
Pay it! Submit your payment along with the return.
Get a refund! If you improperly paid sales tax and the merchant won't give
you credit. File here.
Contact us if you need help!
Did you know that you can shop tax free in Maryland twice a year? Read
about our Shop Maryland Programs for information about each opportunity!

Gosh...my sales taxes paid in other states far exceed the 23 bucks I might
owe Maryland. I should file and get my refund.

Most all of my on line purchases are via Amazon, which collects the
Maryland tax.

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.








If like California, you are supposed to pay the sales tax owed if bought
online.

Maryland has no realistic mechanism for individuals for that, though Amazon
is now collecting for our state.

Is on our income tax form.


I don't live in California.


I bet you are supposed to tell the state how much you avoided taxes.

Yes you are.

Sales and Use Tax

Every state that has a sales tax also has a use tax on the purchase of
goods and services as defined by law. State sales taxes apply to purchases
made in Maryland while the use tax refers to the tax on goods purchased out
of state.

Businesses in Maryland are required to collect Maryland's 6 percent sales
tax and or 9 percent alcoholic beverage tax from you whenever you make a
taxable purchase.

Every time you purchase taxable tangible goods from businesses outside of
Maryland, whether in person, over the phone, or on the Internet, the
purchase is subject to Maryland's 6 percent use tax or 9 percent alcoholic
beverage tax if you use the merchandise in Maryland. Maryland' use tax
protects Maryland businesses from unfair competition. Local businesses
would be at a competitive disadvantage if consumers were entitled to a 6 or
9 percent discount on items purchased from out of state businesses.

Learn about it! Get Sales and Use Tax Information for consumers, or get all
the details in the business section.
File it!File a Use Tax Return or to get a credit for sales tax paid in
another state.
Pay it! Submit your payment along with the return.
Get a refund! If you improperly paid sales tax and the merchant won't give
you credit. File here.
Contact us if you need help!
Did you know that you can shop tax free in Maryland twice a year? Read
about our Shop Maryland Programs for information about each opportunity!

Gosh...my sales taxes paid in other states far exceed the 23 bucks I might
owe Maryland. I should file and get my refund.

Most all of my on line purchases are via Amazon, which collects the
Maryland tax.

Even the prodigious online ammo purchases?

Almost out...

Amazon doesn't sell ammo to the best of recollection. Most of my firearms
related purchases are made in state. There are lots of gun and ammo
dealers, some high volume operations that charge reasonable prices and a
few in the online business. My buddy in Virginia is handling our bulk buys
these days. He is more attuned to the market than I am. He doesn't buy from
the people's republic of China Walmart either.

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.








If like California, you are supposed to pay the sales tax owed if bought
online.

Maryland has no realistic mechanism for individuals for that, though Amazon
is now collecting for our state.

Is on our income tax form.


I don't live in California.


I bet you are supposed to tell the state how much you avoided taxes.

Yes you are.

Sales and Use Tax

Every state that has a sales tax also has a use tax on the purchase of
goods and services as defined by law. State sales taxes apply to purchases
made in Maryland while the use tax refers to the tax on goods purchased out
of state.

Businesses in Maryland are required to collect Maryland's 6 percent sales
tax and or 9 percent alcoholic beverage tax from you whenever you make a
taxable purchase.

Every time you purchase taxable tangible goods from businesses outside of
Maryland, whether in person, over the phone, or on the Internet, the
purchase is subject to Maryland's 6 percent use tax or 9 percent alcoholic
beverage tax if you use the merchandise in Maryland. Maryland' use tax
protects Maryland businesses from unfair competition. Local businesses
would be at a competitive disadvantage if consumers were entitled to a 6 or
9 percent discount on items purchased from out of state businesses.

Gosh...my sales taxes paid in other states far exceed the 23 bucks I might
owe Maryland. I should file and get my refund.

Most all of my on line purchases are via Amazon, which collects the
Maryland tax.



You do not get a refund for other state sales taxes. But you owe on mail
order from states that do not charge sales tax to Marylanders.

99.9% of my online purchases are from companies that collect sales tax. It
is a yawner.

From a tax sinner to a tax saint. What an amazing transformation you've
made
