I have used their lr rifle primers before.
I had a couple that didn't go bang, but out of a 1000 that's acceptable.

Ive been getting some emails from Target Sports they have ammo but 50 and 60 cents a round is more than I want to pay. 22LR Ive been seeing for .12 each. I have plenty for now and will just hold on to what I have until the price drops. Once they get a surplus of it it will drop.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I guess it depends on where you go. I could get at Walmart for about $16-$18. But, a LGS that I frequent would have for about $22. The LGS was higher, yet it is not a national chain. So, I paid a few dollars more, at times. Of the firearms that I purchased from it, I have not had to pay for any background check. And, the price of the firearms were below retail. So, I did not complain much about the price of ammo. In the end, I prefer dealing with the LGS. People seem more knowledgeable than Walmart staff. Then, that is to be expected. So, I guess I pay for the expertise.

Id do the same thing here if we had a local gun store but we dont. I support a Pawn Shop in Loveland that has been good to me when I can but they dont have much in the way of ammo right now. But they sure have sold alot of guns for me.

I was in Walmart today, lo and behold three boxes of 30-30 in Winchester. Winchester is my preferred brand. My Marlin likes 150 grain, which was only one box. And, that was the amount I was looking for. My Henry does not seem to be as picky. The other two boxes were 170 grain. I thought about it, then just went with the 150 grain. I have 170 grain still waiting to be shot, which I may do when that is all left. My rifles seem to be more accurate with 150 grain. The 150 grain was $19, and the 170 grain was $17. So, I must not be the only one who prefer 150 grain. At any rate, seems like light at the end of the tunnel.
