On Ammo grab one listing of fmj 250 grain lat point for 19.99 box off fifty.
Another brand Precision One 255 grain fmj for 20.95.
I prefer fmj .
The cowboy action lead bullet loads are in the double the price area.
I noticed at Cabelas .45 255 grain hollow point, just the bullets were .10 each.
All they had for sale he few times I've looked.
I would like to find fmj 200 grain bullets for .05or so.
Doesn't seem an unreasonable expectation.
Sister gave me a name of an ammo company below Atlanta with very good prices. Don't remember the name, at the moment.
Need to make a list and check it out. Adding 30.00 for fuel means I would have to save a lot and buy a lot.
I do reload but cheap prices for loaded ammo and you get the case to reload too.
I figure it now cost me 35cents for reloads, with old brass primers and bullets. Ten cents a bullet was wrong at Cabelas it was .20. So that would make it higher. Once old powder stock is gone I'm not sure what the cost will be.
No I didn't break out the calculator to get it exact.
your choice. but i refuse to buy factory ammo as long as have what it takes to reload. i haven't bought factory ammo for any of my revolvers on over fifteen years. i only buy factory ammo for the semi-autos because i need to replenish the brass i end up losing.
I still have some nickel plated.38s and .357s pickups from a police range in mid sixties, before I reloaded.
I doubt they will take another reload.
I got into reloading to save money.
I found some Starline, which is pretty good brass in .357, for a bit over .21 each or 106.00 for 500 with free shipping, online.
That will make my reloads .43-45 a round.
Now I can buy a loaded round with fmj flat point, for less than .20 a round.
So buy them and save money and have the brass for reloads, keeping cost of reloads still higher until I can find some cheaper good bullets. I need to figure it up exactly as to my cost to reload .45 Colt.
There is no way they can sell rounds with fmjs for less than I can reload unless there are cheaper sources for components.
the larger the quantities that you buy the components in, the cheaper the cost of them. ammo manufacturers are buying components in the hundreds of thousands.
