That price would be without shipping.
I live just 70 miles or so away and plan on driving up there.
Cash sale and no record.
I can store it for you, if you like.

I found Georgia Arms ( http://georgia-arms.com/) who carries bulk ammo for sale.
Example of .45 ACP:

Has anyone used this manufacture? I am looking at a run for Christmas! |
That's still 36 cents per round. I know it's hollowpoint but our local WalMart is selling Winchester 230FMJ for $31.97 per 100 (or 32 cents ea.). Known quality, better price, I'm having a hard time justifying the JHP and a 70+ mile drive for plinking.

PG:
SAECO four cavity 205 Grain Hensley and Gibbs Semi-wadcutter bullet mold. Cost with brass, primers, and powder -- .10$ per shot maximum. And they will shoot much better than the white box 230 grain FMJ.
Or you can go with a 230 grain truncated cone cast bullet for the 'Coveted' Caliber .45 Automatic Colt Pistol. A much better choice than the white box 230 RN bullets. IMHO of course.
There is no difference in blasting between hard lead cast bullets for the 'Coveted' and FMJ for the 'Coveted'. In fact, if one uses the 205 grain HG bullets, they will be extremely pleased with the results.
Gene -- maker and blaster of many tens of thousands of 'Coveted' Caliber .45 Automatic Colt Pistol bullets.

Gene - Ranier or Berry's 230 gr. plated, double struck, TC or HP. I'll pay the extra .02-.03 not to have to cast my own. I'm spending about .13 per round and getting everything I need from reloads. Need to hurry up and get another jug of WW231 before the current madness affects it too. Course the better half was taking care of me - my Christmas present from her is a Kimber .22 conversion for my TLE-RLII. That's less than .06 per round!

How true. To be honest with folks, I haven't cast bullets for five or six years. I keep my molds as a back up but otherwise buy plated bullets or Remington bulk bullets for the pistol.
I was just thinking about Ranier bullets a hour or so ago. They are located about ten miles from me and it generally costs less for me to buy their bullets from Midway than it does to buy them directly from the factory. Go figure.

Went to Walmart today for a little Winchester white box. They were completely out. All calibers. The store had three boxes of centerfire pistol ammo to its name. The employee at the ammo counter said they have been out for over two weeks, and so have their warehouses, and they don’t know when they’ll be getting any. He’s never seen anything like this in the nine years he’s been working there.
Anyone else run into this?

Nope, out here in Arizona you can still get all the ammo you can shoot. There has been a run on guns and ammo but that will not last long.

Ammo and Guns dry in NOVA
I have been watching things for about three weeks now. Northern VA is dry of many things. Folks are snatching it all up for fear of losing thier rights. What isn't being sold is being held in reserve by FFL's who watching for when prices hit thier peaks.

I was looking for 5 boxes of .44 Magnum for a Christmas gift, went to three stores, including a Wal-Mart, and still could only find four boxes.
Lots of panic buying going on here, much of it spawned by idiotic legislation proposed by the leftist anti-gunners.
I have it on good authority that the manufacturers have started dropping ammo prices as commodities prices have gone down, but retailers and middlemen have kept their prices up, or even increased them due to demand and difficulty in obtaining product.
