Range ammo

MJ · 08-11-2006, 09:45 AM

What do you guys shoot at the range / or just for messing around.

I usually get the WWB value packs at WalMat. 9mm comes to about $12.70 for 100 I think

The other day I found a deal at DICKS (sporting goods store) not sure if its a national chain. If bought in bulk 50 round 9mm packs for like $5.48.

I should mention the ammo I bought at DICKS was Remington UMC. Worked great. But everything works in a Glock ;)

Whatever is cheap.

WWB is decent for the $$, but in MN they don't carry handgun ammo at wally world, so usually when I visit the in-laws in KS I try and empty out every wally world I can find of their .45 ACP ammo.

In 40 cal it is usally american eagle. (I get it for free)

Same with .223 ammo

HeHe.
the .22 is really cheap/
$8.00 for 50

Whatever you do, stay away from the American Ammo stuff. I took a box of 9mm to the range 2 weeks ago and had nothing but trouble. I'm back on the Winchester-Walmart white 100 boxes.

Did you mean $8.00 for 500? That's about what I pay for .22 LR ammo at Wallyworld. I use Federal copper-plated hollow point and have good luck with it when just messing around at the range.

I agree 100%

I was at the range this weekend with a buddy who was shooting American .40 through his Glock

Get this (I'm not great with the lingo but I'll try)

One round of this American ammo had a working primer. But no hole for the primer to explode though. So it launched the bullet and casing into the barrel jamming it real bad. It was a MESS!

The Glock was ok. It took about 10 minutes to get it working again. unbelieveable.

There's nothing like reloading to bring the cost of practice down to manageable levels. Even WWB can get expensive if you're going through enough of it; however, reloading has cut my cost to a fraction of what it used to be. Now, I average about $2.50 - 3.00 per 50 rounds of pistol ammo compared with the $10-15 it used to cost me in years past.
