    The only brass they had was .223 and it was $18 a box. Some kind of soft point. I'm thinking about doing that case of 1000 inigoes thanks for the link. I like the idea of every time I buy ammo for the range, buy some for the stockpile.

    Remember, it's always cheaper to buy bulk ;)

    $299 or so for $1,000 rounds of XM193 isn't that pricey, and thats what I use for my SHTF stockpile.

    They stay in the original boxes (unless they're in magazines) and I put them in ammo cans with those moisture absorbing packets.

    All my ammo is now in a walk in cedar closet. Going to get a ton of those packets next time I stop in REI. I worked there in high school and they have a MASSIVE box of them.

    YOU'RE the one!!!!!!!!!

    :lol2:

    I find them to be hit-or-miss on supply...

    But when they DO have, it's a glorious thing!!

    This past week, 9mm, .40, and .45 UMC was well-stocked (for them), and at pretty decent prices.

    I tend to poke my head in a couple times a week... partlky to kill time, and partly to see if they have anything particularly wunnaful

    I need to up my game for 9mm. All you guys talking about thousands of rounds make me jealous. Anyone that makes a hobby of hand loading 9mm, I'd be glad to make some room in your supply closet.

    Selling reloads is a legally precarious activity... I wouldn't recommend it.

    I just cranked out another 240 7.62x51s yesterday. I had to pick up another 2000 Large Rifle primers, and my 8 lb bottle of IMR 4895 is down to about 3 lbs :sad20: I need another couple of 8 pounders to finish up my 1200 3-06 rounds.

    My primers are dwindling down. I need to stock up on those but it looks like the stock on those are getting hard to find like last years time. :(
