Ammunition

[ultrarunner]

Yea, the car rental place there is pretty amazing. I can see it easily overwheming someone that doesn't travel much. The volume and turn over is simply staggering. I always book everything way in advance electronically and the pickup/turn in process is crazy efficient. You spend more time walking to/from the vehicle than anything else ... and riding that monorail.

It really is if you factor in your fist time to the States and probably transferring planes on the way in...

A little kindness shown to the kids of friends over there is easily repaid in spades.

Mostly it is just getting them off to a good start... some AAA maps and a cooler with snacks... a day around the city or Big Basin/Coast and then they hit the road with me as a contact should trouble come up.

Still remember one group that stayed in Durango Arizona and took pictures of open carry locals... they simply couldn't believe it was real.

Guns, Ammo is super regulated over there...

My Uncle was a self taught gunsmith that was training for the Olympics where you ski, shoot etc before he died in the line of duty... he had all the equipment and supplies that was mostly given away... I still have some of his 30-06 reloads and never a bad one and some are 60 years old.

Don't watch if you have a problem with shooting feral hogs.

Any body see any bulk deals on ammo? I think the distributers were expecting a big run and prices to shoot up and now .... well, I bet there will be some nice Black Friday sales

I have got a lot of emails for sales but they were nothing spectacular, around .35 for .223 so we didn't buy any more. We already have enough to stop a small insurrection.

I am quietly shopping for a long barrel revolver to shoot up some of the excess .45 long colt I have. The Judge just isn't accurate enough at distance with it.

You might check the ammo mfg sites. I know Remington is having a $5 rebate per box on Black-Friday weekend. They'll rebate up to 40 boxes or $200. The rebate is on UMC pistol and revolver ammo. They will also have some gun rebates.

One supplier offered an election day special - 5% off. Their price on self defense rounds has roughly doubled since April

Looks like rebate is good only for 50 round boxes of pistol ammo. Still not bad.

Have you looked at the Circuit Judge?
Surprised me, friend uses it for deer hunting.

I have, and I already have a Judge, it is a lot of fun but the 3" barrel isn't good for distance. The Judge is an awesome pistol to carry on the property though. I don't want another Judge but a dedicated .45 LC pistol, they are also cheaper than a Circuit Judge.

And cast bullets shoot mighty fine in it
