Cool. It's always good to be happy.

This looks nice.... I wonder.
I really like the can idea.
What's with the commas not being decimals.
In another picture not shown here, it says "ammunition rifle loaded".
Want.

I have a 50cal can with LC 5.56.
It was an over run back in the early aughts and the can is marked UAE.

Ah pornography.
I can't define it but I know it when I see it.

I suppose it would be a bad idea to try some Igman.
It might not play well with my Prvi Partizan.
For now, I will stick with the PPU.
The Serbs seem to know what they are doing.

I really resent the fact that we cannot buy genuine USA made 5.56 military surplus ammunition anymore.
It's so stupid.
What was the reason anyway.

For 7.62x39, how do you guys feel about Barnaul or Brown Bear? It's priced around what Wolf and Tula go for.

Just need some cheaper AK plinking ammo.

Definitely cheap. FWIW, Barnaul is the name of the company that makes a variety of ammo including Brown, Silver and Golden Bear. Wolf buys ammo and rebrands it. Tula generically sucks, Brown Bear tends to be a very popular "bargain priced" ammo, Wolf and Wolf Military Classic tend to be pretty popular as "cheap but not as bad as Tula" ammunition.

Which Barnaul are you looking at in particular?

Also, I don't know if it appeals since Red Army Standard doesn't enjoy all that great a reputation for reliability and performance, but Academy Sports stores have had it on clearance all over the place. The sticker price at my local store was $5.58 or something but each box rang up at $3.36. Despite it's reputation, that was too cheap for me to not grab a thousand rounds. If cheap is where its at, try your local Academy.

I would love to buy more 5.56 Winchester, but the PPU 5.56 M193 and PPU 7.62X51 M80 were just ordered.

What a fine kettle of fish.

I, also, am an ammoholic. The political scene over the last decade has made me worse!!(It is ALL their fault!) Being a handloader, the components to handload cartridges are of major importance....except for .22cal. Do I have some....yes. Do I need/want more...always. There is always that "what if" in my mind that makes me pull out the credit card. I do have to admit that evaluating my inventory does produce a calming effect!!

Typical European confusion. For whatever reason, in many countries over there, they use commas where we use periods and periods where we use commas. Go figure...

I've been shooting PPU 5.56 and 7.62x51 for years, I was happy when it was unknown and under the radar. Wink

Definitely a few sings of Ammoholism here. Rationalizing purchases, blaming others, and keeping a large and/or secret stash of ammo.

You are going have to seek professional help.

I squeezed off five rounds of 308 168 gr Federal Gold Medal Match Sunday afternoon. I tried hard not to order more from SG Ammo. I failed. I just ordered 500 more rounds.... I think I will get better one day - or not.

We won't tell anyone, it's our little secret.

I just received tracking info for 2 cases of pumpkin spiced 9mm (Blazer Aluminum) from Natchez.

I'm trying to keep up with you guys on the forum but from reading the last several pages it looks like I still have a ways to go.

I told our building guard today that he should get some Glock food now as it won't be cheaper on November 9 but could be much more expensive.

BTW, shipping on the second case was only $6 more.

PPR = just shy of .21

No ammo for me this week but I did pick up another Daniel Defense....V11 Pro to keep my V9 company. Hopefully next week there will still be decent priced ammo left.

Hmmmm that Winchester m855 is still calling my name. Might have to answer.

Then again that Prvi 7.62 is tempting.

PSA was fast. Last month was three separate orders of 1000 rounds of .223.

Today six cases of 357SIG showed up. Finally. Only took two months.



Not minority enough!

Bought another 1000 rounds of Prvi last night. Thanks to LBJ for the recommendation. Building up my stash for my new Noveske. Need one or two more cases, and I'll be in good shape.
I am stocked to the gills with pistol ammo but need to complete my rifle ammo stash.

Yeah, gotta feed that new AR15.
