Ammo sources

I roll my own ammo, it works great, the price is right and the store is always open.

I would reload if the cost was the same. Something about reloading that is like shooting. It gets into your blood. For rifle hunting or competition the reloads more accurate.

Ammo and reloading components are taking a jump in price. I went to the local Wal-Mart and bought a couple cases of .22's and a case of .38's since I don't reload it. Think I'll buy a couple more cases of .22's before they go up. Wal-Mart hadn't raised theirs yet. The price of lead, zinc, Copper, and other metals have had a big price increase.

Ruger Packer, I had to pay shelf price, but the bulk-pack is cheaper than the box price. They cost 8.96 for 550 Federal hollow Points.

Calvin, I kinda figured they charged you shelf price. Just for the heck of it, I'm going over there today and ask if I get a discount if I buy a whole case. All they can do is say, "no". [8D]

Let me know if it works and I'll try it.

Saw my Dad get the price as low as they would go on a refrigerator at a hardware store and then made them throw in a case of .22 shells. They weren't going to, so he walked out the door and started to leave and they call him back. I ask him if he would have left if they hadn't called him back and he said certainly.
