Re: ammo on sale
There were maybe a dozen boxes of Winchester .380 at Wal-Mart in Bedford (on 121) yesterday afternoon. Just over $31 a box of 100. I don't use the stuff, but I know many of you are looking for it.
Springfield XD(m) 9mm 3.8 | Springfield XD-45 Compact | Springfield XD-9 Service
Kimber Pro CDP II .45 ACP | Kimber Pro Aegis II 9mm w/Crimson Trace | Walther PPS 9mm
Bushmaster AR-15 w/Magpul pistol grip and foregrip, Bushnell holosight
I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.

I think Wal Mart Fereral 9mm at 10.50 is much better ammo - cleaner

Re: ammo on sale
The WWB 9 mm at my WW in New Braunfels has come down from $23.99 a box of 100 to $19.99 per 100. Not down to what it was at $14.99 per 100 but it’s a price drop, its not on sale.

Re: ammo on sale
Not sure if it's cleaner than Monarch. I haven't noticed a difference but the Federal is weaker. It's 50-85 ft/sec slower than the Monarch.maxpower wrote:bvmajik wrote:academy has $9.99 boxes of monarch brass 9mm... to bad it's not 7.99 like it once was but an okay price for good ammo

When Academy has Monarch brass for $9.99/50 rounds I buy in bulk.

Re: ammo on sale
I don't have a meter to check it, but based on recoil, I suspected the same thing. Maybe they figured out a way to increase FPC with reduced pressures...LOL... but I think it is slower also.

Essentially it's the difference between shooting a G19 and a G26.
Like your avatar too. It's Jimmy Carter all over only worse and he's not a fan of our nation, its foundation, or its success.
Research Anti-Colonialism and you'll find exactly what his motivation is. It's not "liberalism" or even true socialism (although that's plays a role), it's all about the rest of the world catching up to us.

you cannot notice 50-85fps in a bullet ever, even with a chrno which I have an use you Std DIV can be greater then 100fps..Alos Monarch (russin) is steal case..How did you come up with the 50-85fts slower then monarch, it should be published somewere.
PS if you chron it again 50-85 fts slower is nothing.. a differnt gun will make that up or change that... not trying to argue,, its just seems like nothing to make me buy one brand over another.. Monarch 223 at 3.99 per 20.. ya Ill buy that all day long.

Re: ammo on sale
For the range and competition (IDPA/IPSC) buy cheapest rounds. Last time, I ever tried the Russian TULA 9mm with steel cases. They shot very well and my Pistol did not have a single hickup.

Just reload... :) how much of the TULA have you shot out of the same gun... some of us are in disagreement about steal case ammo in none surplus riles... And the damage that it can/will do...

My buddy's Chrono was $$$$$ and measures very well. Not sure what the SD was in ft/sec but it was way less than 100.Vecco wrote:

Also, Monarch makes brass ammo also. The steel is Russian. The Brass is Serbian made by Prvi. It's good quality stuff.
And as I said in previous post it's about the difference between a G19 and G26.
