I made a little road trip to Fort Wayne today picked up some pistol cases from an INGO member and scored 300 rounds of ammo from two different Wal-Marts!

Looks like we're having home made pizza tonight. The dough is resting now and the fixins are getting chopped.

That sounds good too!

Dang, that sounds good too.

I always eat way too good. Getting too fat for my pants is bad enough, now I'm even too fat for some of my XL shirts!

You mean besides the ones in your safe?

I have been getting mine from Cabelas. Just order it, have it shipped to the nearest store and pick it up. I drive right by the Hammond store when I go to Wisconsin.

They are all part of obama's stash now.

I've never been lucky enough to catch them with any bulk packs in stock.

Well, on days I'm not driving, I can check their site 15-20 times a day and have gotten lucky at least once a week. MOnday they had ammo almost all day.

I can't check it while I'm at work. That kind of stuff is all blocked. The dirty guys.

Lately, I have just been buying CCI Minimags.
When I did an appleseed in June, I was using Remington Golden Bullets. Had a bunch of duds. Gonna do another Appleseed in a month and want to use only Minimags so that I don't have that issue. They are more expensive at .09each, but they always work.

 

[RedneckReject]

I haven't even attempted to buy any ammo lately. None. Too much hassle

Since I started reloading, .22 is all I need to buy.

We'd like to start reloading. It's definitely something we've been thinking about

I really can't recall ever having any duds from any of the federal bulk packs I've ever used. That doesn't mean its never happened, but it obviously never been enough of an issue to notice.

I can't remember any with federal, but the Golden Bullets were from a 1400 rd bucket. I'll bet between me & the wife, we had a dozen duds in the approx 1000 rounds we fired for the Appleseed.

Also had my first squib load with a .22 out of the same bucket.

 

[Suprtek]

Even a lot of the reloading supplies have gotten harder and much more expensive to get. I sure hope this mess starts improving soon. Ammo availability has never been this bad during modern times as far as I know.
