Yeah, that's why I started shopping around online for some more affordable jacketed hollow points to use for every day carry. Speer Gold Dots, Remington Golden Sabers, etc... are usually available in 50 round boxes and at half the price per round than you pay in store for Hornady Critical Defense/Critical Duty ammo.Grundy1133 wrote:hmm... id end up going thru a LOT of expensive carry ammo if i shot a mag each time i went to the range. my mag has a 15 rd capacity and the ammo i buy is $22 for a box of 20.allisji wrote:A lot of folks on this site have a habit of emptying a magazine of carry ammo each trip to the range.
