Hey guys! Newer shooter here. I'm hoping to get some help on the best way to buy ammo or the best route to do so. My range days are costing just around $100 almost every time. Thats usually $80ish in rounds and a $20-$30 range fee. If I wanted to do that multiple times a week to get good practice in that would be quite the penny to do so. How are you guys getting the best deals on ammo? I'm only shooting 9mm right now and I did just sign up for the ammo squared membership. Any help is very much appreciated. I'm also in Utah if that matters

This ammo was pulled from a house fire, total loss. This ammo was in a gun safe, in battle packs, in cardboard boxes. Powder is still audible when shaken, primers look good. Brass and projectiles are obviously discolored.

Question is, safe to use. No longer reliable ammo, but training rounds?

I've been running supers through my new suppressors. One is a HUXWRX Ventum 556 and I have a Spectre 9 on my M&P9.

Decided to sample these two. Just curious if anyone has run any of these through their cans.

Cheers!

500 beans for this !
If you guys have more information. I would love to hear it

Hey there, I own a US m1917 winchester that shoots .30-06, does anyone have any recommendations on bulk ammo websites?

I am bartering with someone local to trade yard work for a sizeable amount of ammo that I have had for 12 years. It has been in a dry ammo box, in its original packaging, with desiccants. He says because of the age I should knock 30% off my asking price. From what I’ve read, that’s way too much.

What say you?

Shoot primarily out of a pump shotgun, mainly worried about ignition reliability and going bang every time, the buckshot patterns fairly decent and the slugs shoot decently accurate out’ve my gun

but I haven’t shot it a bunch I haven’t noticed any excessive dirtiness either I’m mainly worried about QC and Ignition reliability before I commit to a lot of them because there so cheap per round compared to higher end stuff

I compared the colors of the projectiles of five different brands of 9mm ammunition.

I noticed that the Magtech brand ammo was quite yellow compared to the rest, almost the same tone as the brass casing. Does anyone know for sure if Magtech uses brass instead of copper for their jackets or something?

I used a color picker on the photo of the bullets; the top colors were picked from a lighter spot, and the bottom colors were from a slightly darker area. There's a lot of color variation because they're shiny, so the hex codes shouldn't be taken as perfect representations of their true color, but I think I got pretty close.

The Magtech projectile was noticeably brass-colored, as opposed to the Blazer and Remington which were the classic copper pink(Blazer was very pink), and the Federal and Winchester which were a more orange-toned copper color.

Purchased these 762x39 ammo, a bunch of the projectiles are sticking out from the case. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. None of it are loose when I try to move it around.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to be asking this but I’m looking to get about from like 1000 to 1500 rounds 556 maybe 1000 rounds of some 12 gauge(00, #1, #4) for home defense and another 1k rounds of nine mil. Half to take to the range and the other half to store but every site has got some crazy ass shipping rates. Any suggestions that can help??

I assumed its a .50cal bc of the diameter and the print on the bottom. Cant remember what company this is from but ik its from usa

Been burning through some hollow points shooting at speed and watching reticle behavior.

HST 147 standard pressure stuff isn't hard to shoot, but there is more muzzle flip than barnes 115 grain vortx. If I had to put it into words, the barnes (and the pmc bronze fmj I often use for punching paper in its place) through my CCW glock makes the gun feel like it 'resets itself' between shots faster and easier than ~1000 fps 147 grain bullets that appear to send my reticle further vertical.

Was a good first hand learning experience instead of going off of old forum posts mentioning how slow 147s 'push' where 115s 'snap' when I personally find such mild 115s the most pleasurable loads to shoot fast.

I am now waiting for some more hollowpoints to be delivered with the next test being the ~1125fps 115 grain barnes vortx vs the ~1300fps 100 grain s&b XRG. I know its splitting hairs, but any thoughts on what to expect from recoil impulse between the two?

I was gifted this a few months ago and forgot about it. its a dummy round in pretty sure, (there is no neck where the projectile would sit in) its 6.5 inches.

Trying, but seems hard to find at all of my local outlets. I really dig all of the graphics on all of the ammo boxes! I realize this could be a pretty expensive endeavor..., but still trying to put it together, just the same! I found a couple at my local Scheels, then some yahoo went and wrapped all of the boxes in clear plastic tape!!

Can't seem to find it online either. anyone else able to find it or even care about it??!!

Recently bought an M&P 5.7 and some SS197. I’m looking to buy some self defense ammo but not sure what performs best out of the M&P. Looking for mainly the non-exotic options but I’m all ears.
