2talltim Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I haven't shot anything in a long time. When prices and availability went stupid a couple years ago I quit shooting. Really need to get the bang bangs out and re-hone the skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's <$180/1000 with no shipping. Fin, Feather and Fur is a great store. One of the better ones in Ohio. It's a long ride from Columbus though.

If you're anywhere near Circleville, Ohio there's a great range there that has many different shooting events for shooters of all ages over 8 years old and all skill levels. You can get general info at http://pcsirange.com/ . Pre-registration for the Steel Challenge matches can be accomplished at https://practiscore.com/pcsi-steel-challenge-june-2017/register for June 17th, 2017. The Steel Challenge matches are held on the third Saturday of every month during the warm months. It's only $10.00 and everyone has a good time. I believe that your first time is still free. Everyone that I've met at the steel matches there over the last few years have been great people, all very willing to help in any way possible. The skill levels are from professional full-time factory sponsored shooters to first-timers. Safety is stressed and there's a range master for each group. It's now limited to eighty people for each Steel match due to overcrowding and time constraints, so pre-registration is a very good idea. Great folks at a great facility. They also have 3-Gun matches and other matches listed at their website. Edited June 6, 2017 by Billy396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Picked up 20 boxes of 9mm Blazer Brass for $8.59 a box. Sportsman's Den in Shelby. Price goood through end of the Month. I might need to go back and buy another 20 boxes before sale ends. They also have Federal and Winchester ammo on sale but the Blazer Brass was the best deal.

PhilD'oh! Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 What do you all think about Freedom Munitions? I tried their .223, which was noticeably better than the American Eagle I'd been feeding my AR. Their 380 ACP was noticeably worse though, so I'm on the fence.

redkow97 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Am i the only one who looks for the ammo in the smallest box? Blazer brass is seriously like 2x the size of S&B brass... spacial efficiency in my gun locker is essential! especially when i add a shotgun and a stock of shells for it.

redkow97 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 How many rounds does that fit? For whatever reason, i am kind of anal about dating each box and using them in the order i buy them. Probably totally unnecessary with modern ammo, but i do it. I’ll have to measure my shelf spacing to see what size ammo cans fit well...

Lawrence1 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Depending on how you store it, ammo generally has a shelf life of about ten years. Not that I would stand in front of a 20 year old shell. Let the argument begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 In a sealed ammo can it might outlive you. You could even get crazy and add a desiccant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence1 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Sure man, ammo manufacturer's recommend ten years because they just want to sell you more ammo. I guess it all depends on what your acceptable rate of failure is, mine's zero. Those of us that actually hunt and take our ammo out in inclement weather know what can happen.

Ammo is good for way more than 10 years Heck, I have US surplus .30-06 for my Garands that is dated to the mid 1940's. True WWII production ammo. Shoots very well. Oldest I have ever fired was some .303Brit that dated to the 1930's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite the same conversation as storing in a sealed box in a safe. ...if you dropped ammo in a river then I expect it's shelf life to be reduced.

TimTheAzn Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Anyone know the shelf life for this 3D ammo I just printed? Just want to know if I have to use it right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’ll buy all your 10-year-old plus ammo. Of course at a significantly reduced price since it’s expired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Just in case there are non-believers in the crowd that ammo will stay good for well into the 70+ year range. Here is a quick picture, the main image is four rounds of British .303, two from 1931 and two from 1942. I have shot both and they worked just fine. The insert is four rounds of US made M2 ball AP (.30-06) for my garands. All dated from 1944 from both the Lake City and Remington arsenals.

Lawrence1 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 You guys regaling us with your stories of how your old ammo goes bang do realize you're probably not getting the full velocity right? That would be a failure. Ever wonder why militaries sell off their old ammo? I hope that's not your go to round to defend your families with.
