That's only a little more than even the steel Wolf ammo from Academy.

IMHO it's a way better value.

I've ordered from Natchez and been very pleased with the Blazer Brass although the price is now up to around $ 9 unless you catch it on sale.

Best place for defense ammo is www.ammunitiontogo.com which has good prices on 50 round boxes and they are located in Texas.

Lately, I've been using 115gr. Magtech as my practice ammo. I've gone through around 400 rounds (will be 600 as of tomorrow). So far, I've had no troubles with it, and have found it to be above average in ease of feeding. The polish on the brass is quite good, comparable to Hornady brass. It tends to be among the cheapest ammo at Cabela's ($11.99/50), and is also available in .380 at a decent price ($12.99/50).

A quick look at the Natchez site shows it to be priced at $10.49/50 there, which is a decent deal for range ammo in good quality brass cases.

I also have used UMC (250 round pack) in recent times, and have found that it is OK ammo, but seems to be a little dirty, the brass is not as well-finished, and is not quite as consistent.

As for WWB, the only place I know of where it is decently-priced is Wal-Mart. I rarely go there, but when I do, it seems they are always out of the WWB I need.

And that's why I use Natchez or Ammoman. I don't like paying taxes. Shipping is the same and I usually end up ahead money wise.

Well, for those who are close enough to Brenham to offset shipping costs by simply driving and picking it up, Ammunition To Go is a great deal. It's especially good if you're buying bulk amounts of ammo that would cost a whole lot of money to have shipped.

That would be a great deal then.

Blazer Brass at Wal-Mart is $8.97/50. Last WWB I bought at Wal-Mart was $19.96/100.

Buy Winchester, get a couple free rounds! what a deal :lol::
I don't think there is a box that didn't have a few extra and I have put away my fair share of them. :fire
