I also need to start my stockpile of 12 gauge shells too.. has anyone looked at Cheaperthandirt.com for ammo?? the prices they have arent too shabby.. im not big for buying ammo online.. but if you cant get it anywhere else??

I personally will not buy anything from Cheaper Than Dirt again. The way they have taken advantage of people on their prices is rediculous. The day after the election they immediately raised the prices on their guns and ammo, and followed it up stating that the vendors raised their prices. Plus, since you are in Texas you have to pay for shipping and tax which inflates the prices quite a bit.

For .40 the best deal is the 180 gr Blazer Brass from Wal-Mart for $12.47 per box. Some locations are out, but the one by me has had some the past few times I have gone in (including tonight). For online vendors there are several good ones. I have personally ordered from Widener's and Natchez a couple times and got some decent deals.

I went to the one in Lewisville off of 3040 last week and they had several boxes of blazer brass in .40 and .45. I bought the 12 boxes of .40 they had in the display, and they stated there was a case or more back in their "Vault". I was in there 2 days prior and the kid working said there was no .40 when in fact they had plenty, but he just did not know where it was.
