Holy Expensive Ammo

**Rio94gt** · 08-04-2009, 10:14 PM

Bought a Glock model 29 10mm Auto today. Ammo is up to 30 bucks a box for 20 Federal Hydra-shoks.

I didnt realize it went up that much.

10mm has always been expensive. It really hasn't gone up as much as all the other ammo on the market.

Ah i see.

Not too many companies are even making it any more. I see Federal, Hornady, Cor Bon, and Winchester but all in limited types.

Ed, What brand of ammo does your 10 prefer?

Personal protection ammo is always way higher. But i mean other then a few test shots to see how the pattern is with it you dont shoot it all the time. Maybe look into buying bulk ammo, I usually buy 2000 rounds or more at a time from natchez and get a great deal

lol you want expensive ammo look at weatherby magnum shells..... ouch!!!!

**Rio94gt** · 08-05-2009, 01:03 PM

Oh I know those are pricey. My deer gun is a Weatherby 30-378 Weatherby magnum. A box of those was 78 dollars like 2 years ago. I don't wat to know what they are now.

**HidalgoGT** · 08-05-2009, 03:04 PM

Try 50 cal shells up around 8-10 each. Try walmart from time to time, last time i got a box of 50 personal defense winchesters for my 45 auto for 30 bucks. Pretty nice 230grain hollow points.

when getting into expensive shells its best to just by a die and load yourself!!! then you can toy with what works best for you.....

so, do you carry a couple rifles on your person as well?

**badf250** · 08-05-2009, 09:26 PM

$40 for my 45-70 rounds 20 shots. My 44 mags arent much cheaper, and I wish I could actually find ammo for my .380 auto.

**Rio94gt** · 08-05-2009, 10:09 PM

Yeah i hear 380 and 9mm is hard to find.

**Inkdcountryboy** · 08-05-2009, 10:16 PM

I've been known to have an assault rifle or two riding along with me from time to time.

BTW Billy, don't feel too bad, 120 rounds of .50 BMG cost me $430.

Looking at picking up a WASR10 myself at some point.
My Cousin just got a 50 BMG and I can wait to see it in action. Looks like a bad MOFO.
