Pick 5 box of the CCI Blazer 50 rd boxes for $5.69 per box. $30 bucks out the door. There website pretty much list what they have. I did notice that the WWB 45 was listed at $20 at Wally world. I was rushed at Acadamy so I forgot until I was getting back in the car. Sorry. I'll try better next time. Good thing theres people on this forum that know more than I do about this stuff.

I am sure that is 9mm aluminum case CCI.

Your point really has no merit as a gunowner with a .22 could say the same thing. Smaller calibers, cost less to shot, its not rocket science. If I am in need of a gun in a self defense situation, I would rather have the .45 regardless of the cost of ammo.
Ever tried to find some cheap .25 Auto???

Well I guess for every rule there is an exception. But the rule usually holds true for smaller caliber less cost.

Gunshow ammo is getting to be a bit funny (weird) to me...
I bought a case of reloaded .45 at a recent gunshow here. After I got it home I found a whole bunch of it had been made up with home cast bullets. Really bad.
I had to make a bullet trimmer to chuck into my drill. Then size every one of those, so they would feed into the chamber.

By the time I was through, trimming, wiping, tumbling it was about three times as much work as it would be loading my own.

Thats why I don't buy reloads from anyone. I don't do my own because I figure that for 10.97 a box at wally world, I couldn't do it much cheaper.

Right, the Monarch in the GREEN box is Brass cased, boxer primed, and made in Serbia. The Monarch in the BLUE box is steel cased Russian made ammo. I cannot comment on the Russian ammo, as I have only used the Serbian ammo. I will continue to use it as long as the price is right.

On a side note - - - I bought 10 boxes of .45 ACP Blazer Brass for $9.95/bx of 50 today at a local WallyWorld.

my wally world has those for 10.97. I am going to have to complain, LOL.

MoJo wrote:I can't speak for the Monarch ammo in .45 ACP, the .223 and 9mm both have performed flawlessly for me. I have shot several hundred rounds of Monarch .223 through my DPMS AR with no problems and pretty good accuracy. I put 100 rounds of Monarch through my Charles Daily HP with no malfunctions and good performance on the steel target I was using. It is a little dirty in the 9mm and seems to be plenty hot enough.

The Monarch is brass cased and reloadable it is made by Privi Partizan in Serbia.

Actually I did some research on Monarch today and it seems that the .45 and 9mm ammo come in two forms. one is lacquered steel and one is not lacquered. I haven't read too much good on the .45 or 9mm monarch but I know the kids at Academy are trying to push it. I think I will just stay away from it.

22 s are fun too.

I was not suggesting that you give up the 45. Just a means of adding to your collection at no cost.

Actually I have a 9mm, it went to the range with me yesterday along with the .45. I always shoot the 9mm first that way I get to feel the power of the .45. 9mm is a good gun and round, but damn after loading a few 9mm's during my range session, I am always amazed at how big that .45 round really is when I loading it.

Walmart - WWB 50 rnds - $15.99
Academy - WWB 50 rnds - $6.93

I don't get it?

That seems a little low for WWB in .45 Cal. Is that FMJ 230 grain? I think you are quoting 9mm prices not .45.

Here ya go. http://www.academy.com/index.php?page=c ... ammunition
I know they might have more than whats shown on their website but it gives you an idea.

I plan on going to Walmart in the mornin. If they don't have 9mm that's cheaper than Acadamy im going there. I'll take a look at the .45 while I'm there. What ever I turn up I'll post tomorrow.
In my neck of the woods Academy could not beat Wally Worlds price on Blazer Brass in .45. In fact academy doesn't even stock it anymore they have some brand called monarch they are selling for the same price as Blazer Brass .45. I am not familiar with Monarch so I didn't buy any and since it was the same price as Blazer price I decided that Academy wasn't worth the additional 8 mile trip when Wally World is within two miles and has plenty of .45.

It appears that academy has gone up on the Monarch ammo in .45 as well.
Well that my neck of the woods also. Now if I can just beat the rest of yall there.

Looking forward to hearing the ammo price report. Wally World may have had a price increase since my last purchase which was a week ago.

Winchester .45acp was $19.95 for 100 rounds at wal-mart last month.
This month, it's $32+ for the same box. (Lead shortage?)

I ended up purchasing some brass blazers earlier this week for about $11 per box, but when I returned this afternoon, they were out. I ended up with the $13+ Remingtons. (Blazers & Remingtons were in 50 round bricks).

Anyone seeing cheaper ammo? How are Academy's prices lately?

My Wally world has plenty of Blazer Brass for 10.97 a box. I have stocked up on it recently. I just went to the Range today and put a box of Blazer brass thru my .45 along with a box of PMC and half a box of WWB. I really like the blazer brass and for the price right now you can't beat it.
