I just stooped by cheaperthandirt and Cabelas. At first, I noticed that Cheapest Russian Ammo and all other ammo for handgun or rifle are up at least some 20%.
Back at Cabelas, I wanted some .223 Ammo, I ended up finding 500 rds of steel cased hurter's (Russian similar to TULA) of .223 55gr HP for $125 stored in a FREE plastic storage box. Just to compare, 500 rds of the silver bear .223 62gr HPBT are at sale for $137 at CTD. Steel cased shoots just fine in Americanized AK-like SIG556. However, my SIG prefers heavier bullets.
I wanted to squeeze Cabelas a bit more and asked for $20 coupon being honored. At the service counter, and with no questioned asked and with not even showing the coupon the discount was applied as long as my purchase is over $150.
I had to go back and grab some $25 worth of goods. I grabbed a Hoppe's new VIPER bore snake ($19.99) in.223 and a big spray can of Rem Oil ($7.99).
My Total out of door, tax included was $143 and some change.
Next is to grab some 400rd of Federal (brass) 9mm. Best place to purchase is Wally world.
