Yeah, prices are outrageous. Does anyone have any brass they are trying to get rid of?

1/22/2013 4:48:37 PM

ISO .243 and 30-06 brass

1/27/2013 5:24:26 PM

holy cow, it's Lucky1

1/27/2013 6:31:18 PM

^ They always come back, AMIRITE?

1/28/2013 8:44:49 PM

i guess so

how much .30-06 you need?

1/28/2013 8:52:25 PM

Whatever I can get.

1/28/2013 8:58:03 PM

welcome to the club

1/28/2013 9:00:30 PM

I would have more ammo and components stocked already, if I would just leave the wife at home when I go shopping.

1/28/2013 9:04:45 PM

i just pick up a thousand primers here, a box of bullets there, a lb of powder every now and then, grab brass i can use off forums when it pops up for a decent price. eventually you've got a decent stash that will get you through these sort of panic events.

Dicks Brier Creek had a bunch of remington .223 a couple hrs ago.

No 9mm or 45, and the 22lr was gone in about 3 minutes

2/1/2013 11:32:52 AM

I scored some 375 rnd boxes of mini mags at handgunners inc in burlington yesterday.

2/1/2013 11:46:45 AM

how much was it?

2/1/2013 12:47:09 PM

$30 each

2/1/2013 1:19:25 PM

Anybody have any 45 acp target ammo they are willing to part with?

Don't have much to barter with besides some 22 lr but willing to pay if anyone is up for it.

2/1/2013 3:34:47 PM

I have a bunch of 5.56 rounds for sale.

20rd boxes for $25

2/1/2013 4:59:57 PM

LOLOLOLOLOL

2/1/2013 5:01:53 PM

Anyone have any cb longs? Ill trade mini mags straight up for them.

2/1/2013 5:21:21 PM

wow, according to cheaper than dirt, i should be charging $10 more per box

2/1/2013 7:41:35 PM

lower than dirt is a bunch of price gouging assholes

Dick's in Aberdeen had 6 boxes of PMC for $25/box tonight. i didn't buy it, i was just curious what was available

Does anyone have any 9mm rounds they are trying to sell? Whole boxes only. If anyone is interested in purchasing a bulk 1000 rounds at a discount, and dividing them up, PM me. Sometimes gun shops offer large special order sales.

2/5/2013 8:32:18 PM

Anyone want to buy some 20gauge ammo? I have probably 3/4 of a case upstairs but I no longer own a 20 gauge.

If anyone is interested I'll go upstairs and actually count how much I have.

^ maybe, let me know what you have.

2/5/2013 8:51:21 PM

Have a bunch of .308 and .223. Looking to trade (or buy outright) for 9mm. Anyone interested?

2/10/2013 10:04:45 PM

I mean I'll buy outright from you. Not interested in selling. Just trades. Sorry for the confusion.

2/10/2013 10:49:49 PM

I have some 9mm to trade. What bullet weight .308 do you have?

2/10/2013 11:50:32 PM

Got responses. Thanks. Ammo need filled.

2/11/2013 9:13:43 AM

anyone have some CCI quiet. or quiet 22?
ill trade some remington 22lr

2/12/2013 3:15:12 PM

Anyone shoot .45 GAP?
I have 100 rounds of JHP and 150+ rounds of FMJ.

$100 picked up, $120 shipped.
Prices are like buying the JHP retail, and getting the FMJ free.

2/12/2013 5:21:48 PM

Looking to buy some 9mm ammo, PM me

If you are completely out make a thread on csc and say you don't have any.

Those guys are really helpful if they know you have zero ammo. I ran into the same problem last week. If you are just looking to buy to increase your stockpile I'm not sure how much luck you will have for a while.

Jim's had a pretty good stock of 9mm two days ago and he's enforcing a 2 box per customer limit. I bought two boxes of Fiocchi for $17 each. Check there.

2/15/2013 10:24:46 AM

Planning on going shooting this weekend. I want to get some 9 and 40 to shoot. Just got a cx4 storm that I want to beat up on.

Anyone have a few boxes of each they would be willing to part with

2/17/2013 10:45:27 PM

I've got Federal .40 S&W 180gr FMJ.
3 Boxes left for $75.

If anyone is in need of some mosin ammo (7.62x54r) surplus, I'll share.

CSC yes, but I didn't advertise my ammo sales there, nor on armslist.

The .40S&W is spoken for, just awaiting pickup.

2/20/2013 7:36:01 PM

CLT is charlotte

2/20/2013 8:03:52 PM

Ahh. No. I'm in Raleigh, But I can ship. I've got connections.

2/20/2013 8:39:25 PM

Not trying to derail here (honest) but i keep noticing in my necked rounds that the lighter the bullet, the more powder it takes to "bring it up to snuff" (proportional to the heavier choices for that particular caliber)

I was wondering if there is any physics based reasoning behind this. It would seem to me that the big rounds .300 mags and up use slower burning powder because heavier rounds take longer to accelerate and pressures need to rise at a safer rate to prevent all kinds of problems.
That said, I would think that more powder would mean a longer burn and a lighter bullet leaving compression acceleration with powder burn still ongoing, leading to unpredictable burn rates and poor consistency.
But the opposite seems to be true in a majority of my lighter loads and also from what I can find online.

Any ideas why this may be?

[Edited on February 21, 2013 at 3:22 AM. Reason : d]

2/21/2013 3:18:41 AM

I'm no expert, but here is my logic.

A 180gr .40s&w bullet is shorter than a 165gr .40s&w (assuming both FMJ, flat nosed, etc... Only difference is in weight)

Assuming you maintain a consistent OAL (over all length) in your reloads between the 180gr and 165gr bullet, you'll have more volume inside the casing with the 165gr. This means reduced cartridge pressure. So to "bring it up to snuff" you add more powder which both occupies more volume as well as add more power.

"That said, I would think that more powder would mean a longer burn and a lighter bullet leaving compression acceleration with powder burn still ongoing, leading to unpredictable burn rates and poor consistency. "

I don't really know how to address this, however, I believe this is why it's important to try to match your powder's burn speed with the application which the cartridge will be used. I use a fast burning powder to compliment the 3.4" barrel on my Glock 27. If you measure your powder, bullet weight, and overall length consistently, you should observe consistent burn rates and accuracy. Some modifications/tweeks to the original recipe may be needed to accomodate your particular load and firearm combination.

generally speaking, loads that fill more of the case volume tend to be more accurate. that's a very general statement, but if i've got 2 powders to try in a load, i'll pick the one with a max load that fills 95%+ of the case over one with a max load below 90%. powder position in the case has a lot to do with it. more empty space in the case means more variability of the powder's position in relation to the flash hole.

[Edited on February 21, 2013 at 6:47 AM. Reason : this is why i like nosler's manual. gives case fill percentages.]

wow thanks.

marks maybe the second time in history ive had a question adequately answered on tww

2/21/2013 7:37:38 AM

I barely scraped the surface. There is a ton of info out there if you want to read more.

2/21/2013 7:41:41 AM

anyone want to do a trade.

ive got 2 bulk packs (525 round each) of remington .22

i want federal/CCI

im running them in a .22 AR and its picky about ammo. they are unopened. im hoping someone can run rems without issue.

2/27/2013 11:35:16 PM

Anyone need 9 mm (0.32/round) or .45 (.44/round)? I've got up to 500 of each to sell.

2/28/2013 4:11:49 PM

I'd also trade 9mm or .45 for .223/5.56

2/28/2013 8:04:16 PM

I'm looking for .223/5.56, have 50 round boxes of Herters steel cased .45 230gr available to trade

3/4/2013 11:42:15 PM

Maybe a long shot, but I have some 30-30 bullets up for grabs. (box of 100)

Was a late night, alcohol influenced online purchase. At the time, I thought I found a great deal on ammo to break out the Marlin.

Paid $26.99 plus $8.95 shipping, just looking to recoup total cost of $35.00 or trade for 22, 9mm, or 45acp ammo
