Why? It's very good ammo... very good. Have you had issues with it? IMO it's clean, cheap, powerful, and accurate. Of all the 9mm I have, it is my preferred ammo, yes PREFERRED.
I have tried it and it has fouled bores, gummed up ramps...generally dirty stuff. The casings use to fissure also and in the case of a revolver made clearing the cylinder less than smooth. They may have improved their quality but that ship has sailed for me.
03Lightningrocks The OP is a perfect example of what I have been saying all along. The noobs to shooting are enabling this price gouging.
I'm not a noob (shooting for over 40 years and carrying civilian and military, cross training in Eastern Block weapons or otherwise armed for over 30) nor was I thrilled about being "throttled". However, I have had a time finding good target ammo (I've got plenty of defense loads but I don't relish sending a $1.25 down range every time I pull the trigger) or a reasonable supply at all. When I did the prices were outrageous...$30+ for 50 rds and the like, so yeah I was thinking "good deal" and it was a TOO. The wise thing to do would have been ask around here, obviously.
Noob indeed
