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.

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. 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. 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!

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. 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. Shouldn't you be more concerned about the next big quake? -- Proud to be a Liberal. |

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! :) Yesterday I checked. Our local Wal Mart had over a dozen different boxes of .223 - different makes, quantities, and prices. According to my down the street neighbor, who buys ammo at our two local walmarts, the chain does occasionally have decent quality .223 Federal plinking ammo at about 50 cents a round, and the rest of the .223 ammo usually is the ****ty "Russian" stuff, with steel cases and ferrous bullets, at a much lower price and sold under several brand names, including Wolf and Tula. According to my app, the closest walmart store had the following ammo in stock in calibers that interest me: Federal-Lightning-22LR-40-Grain-Solid-Ammunition 0002946505 TULAMMO-.223-Remington-Full-Metal-Jacket-55-grain-Ammunition-20-rounds 0081495001115 The Dunkirk store had the same TULAMMO crap. Now, the stores did have a lot of other caliber rifle ammo and a decent selection of pistol ammo, but no .357 MAG Proud to be a Liberal. |

It's no surprise that you can't influence your neighbors shopping habits. -- Respectfully submitted by Justan Laugh of the day from Krause "I'm not to blame anymore for the atmosphere in here.
