OK, I reload all my own stuff, but I just got offered 2300 rounds (factory) for $450...  Mix of WWB and some good stuff.

I figure Wally world is probably $30 / 100 for WWB--if my math is right, thats 30 cents a piece...

2300 rounds for 450 would be about 20 cents each...

I'm not sure I can reload a 45 round for 20 cents each anymore--powder/primer/lead prices have all increased, and so has my hourly time price...

thoughts?

Buy it. The best I've done recently on .45 ACP  is 250 of Federal 230 gr for $70. A walk in unadvertised special at a local gunshop, and they sold out a pallet of it over the weekend.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Between current prices and rumored 20-40 % increase coming at the

end of this month you would do well to buy it now !

 

Here's a company getting out of the business because of whats coming.

Clearance list is changing everyday so don't know if this is any help

or not.

100 rounds of .45 ACP WWB 230gr FMJ at local Wallyworld is $36.59.  Sounds like a good deal to me.

ok--I'm working a bulk deal on the ammo, taurus 1911, and some extras...  Already have buyer lined up for the 1911 at a modest $50 profit wink...

I figure the more stuff I buy, the cheaper the ammo gets !!!

Yea, Great deal. Especially the last couple rows looks like premium

defence stuff, that's $25-$30 a box.

 

With all the extended magazines and (I think that's a Galco) holster, the

buyer is getting a great deal for $500.
