I guess the one "good" thing I saw was the Remington .40 FMJ (green and white box of 50) is going for about $13 a box...

I may be making more trips to WalMart for some ammo...

Gunshow ammo is getting to be a bit funny (weird) to me...

ME TOO!!

Maybe we should start "Reloading Clubs" to partner up with our "Shooting Clubs". I'm joking a little, but not much.

I just took up carbine matches with Texas Tactical, so now I am trying to feed TWO bottomless pits. They say .223 used to be cheap. I just bought 1000 rounds of Wolf Black Box for $189 shipped. That was the cheapest I could find...and my kids like to shoot too.

You gotta love it.

By the way, 9mm is not THAT much cheaper anymore Maybe $6/100.

Thats not a bad idea...Reloading clubs...

I just got back a while ago from the GRB show today...

I have to say I am actually a little worried about these ammo prices...

And more so about availability of certain calibers...

I did see .40 Winchester (white boxes) going for about $20 for 50

Some of the premium self-defence loads are pretty steep anyway...But I am thinking we'd pay for that...

The one box of .45/70 I bought was actually cheaper than some of the other gunshops I've been to lately by about a buck or two...But I think thats not par for the course...

Something else to ponder...I heard a rumor that China is buying up ammo and chopping it up for raw materials like brass and lead for some silly reason...But that rumor doesn't make much sense I suppose...

I'm beginning to worry about the quality of the "cheap" reload stuff coming out of "T's" in Texas City (but he's shutting down shop I hear)...

Texas Munitions...I was going through some of that stuff and found a round that basically had the bullet backwards in the casing...Charged and primed ready to fly...

But I guess thats what you get when you buy some of that bulk stuff from those folks...99% might be ok to run through your guns, but its that occasional squib that can really ruin your day if your not careful...

I probably only have about 5-600 rounds of this loose reloaded stuff around...Its well accounted for...

But if there is one tell-tale sign of slim times coming, its the .223 market...The cost and availability of that stuff may be a tattletale for us to keep track of of any trend in ammo issues...

FYI...

I'm almost afraid to see what it'll be like tomorrow at the GRB...

I want to pick up one more box of .45/70 for the mid April trip...I'm hoping its still around $30 for 20...Thats been about average...
