Re: ammo on sale
Academy Sports and Outdoors do sell cheap ammo namely inthe Monarch brand. They are made in Russia and can either get them in brass or steel, steel being cheaper. The only thing is the powder used on the ammo is a little dirtier than what we use here in the states.

Re: ammo on sale
Hi Flattop22, welcome to the forum! There's a wealth of information here at your fingertips and a wonderful bunch of guys & gals to get to know.Flattop22 wrote:Academy Sports and Outdoors do sell cheap ammo namely inthe Monarch brand.

Actually, Monarch branded ammo comes from 2 sources. You are correct in saying that the steel cased ammo comes from Russia. But the brass cased ammo comes from Prvi Partizan in Serbia, and it's labeled on the box "Made In Serbia".
Prvi Partizan is good ammo. I've been shooting it lately, and it is digested well in my gun.
Don't know about the steel cased ammo. I shy away from it.

Re: ammo on sale
I have a couple thousand rounds of it in 9mm. No problems yet. I have fired probably another thousand rounds of it in the past year. Works fine for plinking/practice ammo.Beiruty wrote:I used to remember my dad mention Sello and Bello some 30 yrs ago. I see it now sold here in US. Amy one shoot it?

Re: ammo on sale
Just went to Bass Pro in Pearland, they have lots of 45 range and SD, 9mm, basically everything but .380. They even had Cowboy 45 Colt for around $40. The only thing I bought was my favorite home defense shotgun load, Xpert 2 3/4" 1550fps #4 12 gage.

Re: ammo on sale
I live in the DFW area and have not seen .45 in a Wally World in quite some time. I hear rumors of it surfacing here and there but never in large enough quantities to get there in time. I am beginning to think there is no .45. It is like the big foot sightings. Folks claim they see it, but never seem to have proof.bvmajik wrote:Anyone find any 45 at walmart in the central tx area lately? Plenty of everything else but that...

All the ammo except the wolf was purchased at Walmart - Including the CASE of 45 WWB
I convinced the employee it was one box. LOL
I started working on this before you posted this last reply... Making it so easy ...
Ill find the receipts if I need to
I dont think you have room for any more 45 anyway ? Do you ?

Re: ammo on sale
Sorry...the pictures only serve as proof when taken while the evasive ammunition still rests on the shelf in the Wally World. A smiley face must also appear in the picture.

Re: ammo on sale
A couple weeks ago there were 20+ boxes of WWB .45 but after 3 days it was all gone. Should have bought 6 :[

Re: ammo on sale
My backorder from Cabela's has arrived!
300 rounds of .45 ordered on 4/15/09 is finally in-store for pickup. The other two items in the order were received on 6/9 and 9/3. I appreciate them spreading out the damage to my credit card.

Re: ammo on sale
For those a few posts up looking for WWB .45, Academy in Cedar Park (north of Austin) had a lot on the shelves this morning, 50-round boxes about half were made in USA and half were the Czech stuff - same price either way
