Spent My Tax Refund
Spent My Tax Refund
After waiting and waiting, I finally got an email from one of my (several) ammo suppliers with .38 and .357 ammo at a reasonable price. Less than $I a round. Spent my tax refund getting several boxes. Both were 158 gr and the .38 was .38+P. Now I can shoot my new Henry X.

Re: Spent My Tax Refund
I stopped in my LGS today, looking for 30-30. Found none. But, there was a small supply of .38s and .357s. .38s were $30 or $52 a box, brand dependent. And, .357s were $40 or $44 a box, brand dependent as well. I have a few boxes of each. So, I passed. I have a few boxes of 30-30 also. I just seem to shoot 30-30 more often. Therefore, just wanted a couple more boxes on hand. Yet, it does appear that ammo is slowly making its way back to shelves.

Re: Spent My Tax Refund
I haven't seen any 357 ammo in a while, I did see some 38 spl. the other day At Academy, but didn't check the price.
They did have some JSP 240 gr 44's for a............$59.99 a bx. Winchester brand.
Dang 350 Legend is Everywhere ya look. Haven't seen a bx. of 30-30 in a good while either.

Re: Spent My Tax Refund
I recently bought 200 rounds of 243 ammo Winchester Varmint x 58 grain poly tip bullets. Got them off my favorite over priced auction sight. But I think I got a pretty good deal this time. 195.00 for 200 rounds of 243 aint to bad

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.......

Re: Spent My Tax Refund
I stopped at a trading post today. Found some 30-30, $48 or $52 a box. Passed on it. Also, there were some .357s at $80 a box. This place also sells tobacco. While I was there, a man purchased 6 boxes of cigarettes. That is probably how it keeps the doors open. A club member told me about this place. He did say that the prices were high. But, I thought it could not be that bad. Clearly, I was wrong.

Reading all of those ammo prices makes me very glad that I started loading my own in 1969 and have several boxes on hand of all the calibers that I shoot.

Congrats, I found some online also, but not much. Tax refund, lucky you. I had to pay!

Re: Spent My Tax Refund
Well, I didn't start that far back.
But sure glad I did take the plunge some 15 or so years ago.
Especially in times like now.

Re: Spent My Tax Refund
30-30 has been the hardest to find. Target Sports USA sent me a "back in stock" email but the price was outrageous. Believe it or not Walmart has. been a lucky stop for it.GFK wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 6:40 pmI stopped in my LGS today, looking for 30-30. Found none.
