I visited my local dealer Saturday and he had pistol ammo in just all usual carry calibers in Federal defense ammo in .32 and .380. They also had plenty of .223 and .308 plus the more common russian stuff.<br /><br />I bought a box of .38Spl for $15/50 following Tam's lead at buying at least something whenever I drop in.<br /><br />I haven't been to Cabelas in a few weeks. Will go there next Saturday and see how they look.Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-91192968800456041612009-08-03T17:40:55.411-04:002009-08-03T17:40:55.411-04:00I'm in WestbyGodVirginia and was able to pick ...I'm in WestbyGodVirginia and was able to pick up a box of UMC 9mm along with a new Glock 19 for my wife at the corner gun shop.

I was using it in my 22/45 (stainless), and noticed that my accuracy was falling off sharply. I brought in my target, and saw that the most recent group had keyholes.<br /><br />I made safe, and came off the firing point. I bring an aluminum cleaning rod to the range with me, and I tried to put it down the barrel...it wouldn't go, so I stopped shooting for the day. When I got home I ended up hammering a tube of lead out of the barrel from the chamber end. I vowed I would never shoot that stuff again.<br /><br />I've never had that problem with any other .22 ammo.<br /><br />In terms of duds, I've had the highest rate of failure with the bulk-box Federal stuff. The Remington 525-round bulk box plated HP ammo works just fine and shoots relatively cleanly, so that's what I've been buying (when I can find it).Blackwing1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-49360083137178574712009-08-03T09:11:42.742-04:002009-08-03T09:11:42.742-04:00Haven't been up in a WallyWorld in a while; th...Haven't been up in a WallyWorld in a while; the one nearest my house is kinda skeezy and only stocks shotgun ammo anyway.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-23617151164969844802009-08-03T09:02:05.330-04:002009-08-03T09:02:05.330-04:00Wally World in the ATL are stocking much better th...Wally World in the ATL are stocking much better these days.
