Cheap ammo

[miben]

I buy a lot of ammo from aimsurplus.com -- shipping is not that much and not paying tax offsets the cost of shipping. You can play with the quantities to buy up to the next shipping cost increase. They don't always have all calibers in stock, but if you check back they may have it. Walmart is good too if you want 100 rounds.

Looks like I am about to buy my first hand gun and I have some questions about ammo. Looking on cheaperthandirt.com I looks like I can get some really cheap ammo. I have always lived by the motto you get what you pay for. How cheap can you go with ammo and still shoot safely? Some of the ammo on there was like $7/ 50 9mm. I want to shoot this gun a lot and have some places I can shoot other than a range. Any input is greatly appreciated.

One Word RELOAD, after initial investment I shoot 9mm under $2 a box using free Range Brass and free Wheel Weights for Lead. Careful with Lead in the Polygonal Barrels though.

The Steel Case is not Re loadable, most is also Berdan Primed even if one would try to argue it is. (It's Not)

I know a guy that reloads boxer primed Wolf steel cases

I'm not an advocate for or against it...just sayin

To each his own, I guess I'm wrong in saying cant, but I'm betting it may play hell with your Dies, with the amount of Brass to be swept off the ground for free I don't see the point in it.

speaking of cheap ammo. Cabela is pushing nylon jacketed Herter bullets in 9mm and 45. They say that are accurate and don't foul up the barrels. Does anyone have experience with these bullets. Are they any good?

I dont think I have been to a Walmart that doesnt. Its always in the sporting section with fishing/hunting/camping supplies

Don't know about the rest of PG County, but the one in Bowie doesn't carry ammo. Would bet monies, Montgomery County is also ammo dry.

in my Springfield xd, wolf steel case ammo would jam in the magazine. anything more than 9 rounds in the mag and the coating on the cases would stick to the walls of the mag.

You'd be out monies, because the Wal-Mart in Gaithersburg does stock ammo. Or they did last time I was there.
