I like to reload, so I put up 800 rounds of 9mm and 300 rounds of 45 this weekend.

 

How long did it take you to reload that much? Did you have the 9mm primers on hand, if not how much did you pay and where did you get them?

Was in Sterling Walmart last night and saw one box of Winchester PDX1 124 grain jacketed hollow point sitting on the shelf. It looked so forlorn and lonely I decided to take it home and keep it company. I may even have a chance to give it a purpose in life over the next week. :cool:

Shipping is always cheap and I pay no taxes - $10 for shipping. Love Buds!

Went to gander in Joliet last night. Slim pickings. Some 762x54 was about all they had that I shoot.

 

They did have a s&w m&p-15 there though. It was the California legal version though.

 

The only difference between a CA and regular model is the bullet button, which is easily and cheaply removed and replaced.

 

If it had a pinned stock AND bullet button it was an East Coast model.

Then it was probably an East Coast model. I didn't handle it, just saw it on the wall and asked if it was a 15-22 or was it the 223/556 and was told it was a California 556. He did mention it had a fixed stock, 10 round mag, no flash suppressor and I just assumed the bullet button.

Farm and Fleet had 12GA shells on sale - 100 for $22. I was just happy to finally see shells in stock again.

 

Funny in my area 12G (410 and 20g) shot shells are overstocked and falling off the shelf at every Walmart I visit, I have yet to see a shortage of shot shells.

Same here. The only ammo I can find are shotgun shells. I mean like EVERY variety too. And slugs. Methinks it may have something to do with the fact that there's a lot of hunters down here I dunno.

Or, maybe, nobody is taking Joe Biden's home defense advice?

"Get a shotgun...get a shotgun...." I have a Mossberg 500 with an 18.5" barrel (and a heat shield...oooohhh a barrel shroud!) for home defense. I've never shot it and I've owned it for about two years. I can't exactly carry that one around (although I may be able to in June).

Yeah, first I'd seen available in some time. I've got enough for the old bolt action I have. I know a lot of people are looking for it, it beats the $150 price tag CTD has on theirs, it even beats their powderless prices.

cabelas had .22 lr cci mini mags 100 round boxes in stock at hoffman estates today.

they were stocking them from a bin right around 630pm earlier tonight, they were still cold from being outside or just having been shipped/received i guess.

they had around 20 boxes or so, limited to 1 per customer.

 

not really sure how long it will last.

What was the price on that CCI ammo ?

I'll be checking the Rockford Farm and Fleet along with one of their Walmart's today. I'll be in the area today anyway, which is how I check for any. I would never drive there just to look. Too far. I do know of a small gun store that does have ammo but he's charging double on everything. I'm not low, but just trying to buy what I shoot.
