Working on topping off oddball calibers now. 5.7 or 32 auto....decisions.

Edit: Friggin PSA and their 5.7 sale.

Those oddballs can be a PITA - around here there doesn't seem to be much of a way to predict what the supply will be like even at the best of times.

Got the cases of MEN 9mm today, great looking ammo. Rounds have a sealed primer. Going to order some more, for the price its hard to beat.

I might have to order some more Al cased throwaways for 45 and 9mm for the GSSF shoots coming up but otherwise, I'm just gonna keep pulling the handle on the Blue Machine.

Primers, powder and bullets have been very available the latter part of this year.

Just ordered $720 worth of ammo.....

2,000 Rounds 124gr 9mm FMJ
3,250 Rounds .22LR Automatch
100 Rounds HST 124gr +P

I think this qualifies me for AA.

Won $1,000 on a lottery scratch ticket. They keep 25% Fed, and 4% VA withholding (I think). If I get the full $1,000 when I get the check. That equals one more case of 9mm FMJ and 100 of the HST.

Ha, I ordered 300 more rounds of the Speer GD 55gr from PSA, and all I got was this stupid cell phone.



Looks like there is a broke ammoholic somewhere between between South Carolina and Texas that needed ammo more than he needed a phone. Got PSA and the UPS Police on the case. Somebody really needs an intervention, or a slap upside the head.

That sucks, I'd rather have the ammunition.
Maybe you will be able to find the thief.

And darn it all, sgammo had Winchester 9mm NATO in stock.
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

I was perusing around SGAmmo's site looking at 5.56, and I'm stunned by how many items are out of stock.

i think sigforum^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H lbj is responsible for this.

When you picked up the phone, did you get a mysterious message delivered in a gravelly voice?

Since PSA doesn't sell phones (yet?), that's definitely a new one on me.

Well whoever did is not that smart if he wanted to send a message. The phone is dead, and I only have an IPhone charger. Or maybe the dead phone is the message? Sneaky bastard, not only did he get my ammo, but playing mind games. Not cool.

Seriously, hope their most favorite body part falls off. The CS rep at PSA was a little taken aback by this as well. Definitely weird and a first for me. Have couple other shipments coming this week, so hopefully this is a one off episode.

Thinking I better buy another case or two of 9MM before long to add to the stash.

I see Brass Blazer, American Eagle, and Speer Lawman are very close in price at SGAmmo - 10.49 -11.24 box 50 when bought by the case.

Anyone think there is much difference between them not to go with Brass Blazer for 10.49? I have shot American Eagle 147 before and liked that so I may go that way. But if anyone has seen that one of them is typically most accurate out of the bunch, that could sway me.

I have never had a problem with any of the 3 you mentioned. The only noticeable difference seems that the Speer is a bit hotter. Don't know if truly is, but that is how I perceive it. Buy a case of Speer and flip a coin for the other.

Didn't have a .22 handgun for plinking around the house so I ordered a Walther P22 with laser and 1000 rounds of Winchester 40 gr HP High Velocity 1,435 FPS .22 ammo and both came in today.

Big Brown is bringing me a case of 9mm NATO tomorrow.

It's just in time too as both daughters and I are going to the range on Friday.
