I've tapped out almost every local gun/army surplus store. I'm going to check walmart and see what they have, sometimes the actually have ammo in stock.
If you're only just starting to look at retail instead of surplus, don't forget about Dick's Sporting Goods or Gander Mtn. Dunno how cheap, but they both have a variety of ammo.

Yeah, I'm meeting a guy by bass pro shop to buy a couple cases of .223, I guess I can go inside and see what they have to offer.

If anyone wants to buy some .45, .223, .32, .22lr, etc and ship it to me, I'll reimburse you in btc.

Are you sure? You don't wanna buy this locally?

How much did you need?

Your latest ammo shipment from me should get to you later this week.

what about aluminum cased?

Can't reload it, can't reload steel cased.

Can't reload Berdan primed ammo (alot of European ammo is Berdan primed).

does the aluminum stuff have anything on it that will gum up my guns? or it just cant be reloaded?

I've heard tell of a few squib/hangfires from aluminum cased..  One of my buddies tried to shoot a .38 alum cased and it hung and he put a .357 right into the back of it..  At least he only got a bulged barrel out of it, didn't blow up..

The Aluminum cased it usually loaded really light, if you have a tight barrel, make sure they all make it out Wink

Here's some good site's I use that may be useful to others:

Site to find and compare the lowest ammo prices:

http://www.ammoseek.com/

Slick deals equivilent for firearms:

http://www.slickguns.com/

I found the 16$ for 525 ccli 22lr blazers at slick guns and jumped on the deal, saved me a lot of money!

the aluminum & steel cases are both too brittle to reliablely survive reloading, and could become a hazard due to imperceptible cracks.  Berdan priming can technically be reloaded, it's just more difficult and requires different equipment.  Generally it's just not worth it.  A lot of military cases are steel these days because militaries don't reload and so the cheaper initial price of steel over brass becomes significant in the millions of rounds range.

so for stockpiling/range use, steel or aluminum should be fine? I don't plan on reloading them.

The revolution will be monetized!
I shoot a crapton of 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 steel cased wolf.  It works just fine.


That's been my experience as well. Even the cheep 7.62X39 does well. I wonder how much of that is the AK?

I got most of my 45 from here

http://www.wideners.com/itemview.cfm?dir=18%7C829%7C842

They had some great south African surplus.

The prvi PPU ammo is great as well.

Steel case is fine and all but the polymer/laquer gums up my sig p220.

Well if I'm going to go down this road again, I'll get a progressive ammo station. Any suggestions?

Get the single stage Wink

damn, i'll just skip the cheap shit and find some brass reloads.

so I guess i'll continue to ask the folks that view this thread to sell me some ammo!

I'm really looking to get some .45acp, even if its a proxy buy, I have plenty of coins to spend.

I thought you were going to reload .45?

Yeah, once I figure out why they cancelled my order without even notifying me..

I'm kind of nervous shooting my own reloads honestly, especially if its the first batch I've ever done.

Deprime, Prime, size, powder, seat bullet, crimp.  You can't double charge .45 cases with universal, won't fit.  Its pretty much fool proof unless you can't weigh powder or seat to the proper depth..  Take your time, its very straight forward, ammo is only 4 things stuck together (bullet, primer, powder, case). 

I love shooting my own reloads, I have one finicky pistol that I pretty much have to reload for, but man its so much fun with the right custom ammo..
