He’s the only guy in his neighborhood with a retractable roof.Quote:

Oh, and met a guy who had some 9mm ammo, doesn't have a 9mm, and GAVE AWAY some boxes of 9mm last week. Had no idea what it was running these days. I told him 0.80/round and he about died.
You guys.........😂Quote:

And that is smart for them b/c that helps them with local traffic and loyalty, and I would only go there for a deal like this on ammo.
Oh yeah. Same. I drove 20 miles (45 round-trip, actually) just before prices really jumped when local ammo was scarce, but I stocked up (for me, not for you and Suncat) a bit, and wouldn't necessarily do it for 2 boxes. Well, probably 20 miles, if I needed it. But not if I just wanted it.Quote:

If they have 200 count range boxes you can still buy two boxes.Quote:

Ammo day seems to vary by area of the country, but all stores in an area appear to receive ammo on the same days. I’d pay a visit to one of the local stores and ask a store manager or employees in the ammo section. A lot of this ammo isn’t even shelved, it is dispensed in an area near the service desk.Quote:

Palmetto has steel case 223 for 70 cents a round as of a few minutes ago.
Just wanted to give you guys an update: I'm still unpacking boxes, but unfortunately I haven't found any more ammunition. Yet. :533:
Optics Planet notified me today that a couple hundred rounds of my Winchester 45 ammo is ready to be shipped at the original price. Wanted to know if I still wanted if.
Uhh, yes.
LOL.
Just got charged on my credit card. I think it is 42 cents a round.
You got my hopes up, but mine still say July.Quote:

I’ve seen where thieves were stealing several rounds out of individual boxes and people would get home with their purchases before discovering the theft. FedEx had issues at its Bloomington hub with ammo and firearm theft during the shipment process.
My 45 ammo comes in tomorrow...like Christmas.
I need to be on the lookout for some locally. I’d like to maintain what I have squirreled away, but I’d like to find some to shoot.Quote:

Fingers crossed that maybe others (9mm) may be following soon. It may just have been that they had 45 in fortuitously, but I'll take it.
