Figure I'll just update the OP when I see more 9mm in stock.

Natches has 1000 round loose pack CCI Blazer Brass 25.5cpr before shipping and tax.

In today's environment that's not a terrible price. Some places were asking $400/case last week (Federal Champion brass).

I'm glad I'm not in need of ammo.

It’s ridiculous. If I owned firearms, I would have bought at depressed prices consistently over the last 3 years

Thx. Midway had free shipping until yest. I just ordered 11# of powder (including 2# for handguns) so I'll hold off on this offer.

Found some 22LR @ .05/rd available. I ordered a couple hours ago and it already has a shipping label

From what I've seen, even at local stores, that's not that great of a price. FMJ at Academy in Covington was $.20/rd just yesterday and they had a bunch.

Federal 115 at Midway 26cpr.

Like I said I wouldn't pay 26cpr but it doesn't last an hour in stock at that price point and I know some people are low.

Yeah, I barely got my order in time. I wanted to order a new (to me) powder, but it was out of stock. Just before going to bed, I got an email notification that it was in stock. I wanted to see if friends wanted to piggy back on my order so I thought the order could wait until the next day. Next day rolled around and the new powder was already out of stock. Fortunately, everything else was ok.

Thx, but I'm ok for now. Got a little ahead of the curve on bullets. I was to order a lot of rifle bullets from MW, as well.

It seems like practicing at the range with a different grain bullet than what I carry is not a good idea. The problem is that I've got less than 200 rounds and it's slim pickins. Thoughts?

Beginning to wonder if the ammo manufacturers are the official sponsor of Antifa and BLM cause they sure make them money.

Damn...

I bought 6 of those 1000 rd. boxes in December for 14cpr shipped and IIRC I also got a mail in rebate




Should have bought more hindsight being 20/20

It seems to me that not practicing for months is generally going to be worse for maintaining your skills than practicing with 115 gr bullets when you carry 124 gr. It's not as if your handgun is suddenly going to be shooting 12 inches off at 7-10 yards because you have a slightly lighter or heavier bullet.

Plus, I REALLY like my range time, so I'm gonna shoot what I can get.

YOu guys can tell the difference between 115/125/147Gr in 9mm? I'm not sure I can tell a difference when I squeeze the trigger on 9mm. At least not enough for me to worry about.

Nope. At handgun distances, I can't see any point of impact difference whether I'm shooting 115gr +P or 150gr subs through a can. Recoil feels different, but not really point of aim/point of impact.

Y'all remember the days of being a brand snob?

"Blazer Brass? Nope, I'm only running S&B 124gr in the surplus white boxes".

At this point, I've gone ahead and picked up a case of Tula steel, just because it was under $170 shipped. I'm fortunate enough to have a good supply, and I've caught a few deals on other cases at/below the $200 pt just to add, but those are seemingly gone.

Good point. So I go to buy the 115gr and they're sold out. Screwed myself.
