Never thought I'd see this.

Post by Oldncrusty »

Been doing some ammo scrounging recently and was surprised at what has turned up. I've found .358 Win, .35 Rem, .280 Rem, .45 Colt small primer. Then I stop at my #1 lgs and find 4 CASES of .40-65 cowboy ammo. Never seen a single box in my life. I know I live under a rock, but does anyone else find this unusual? It is awesome to see.

I was looking through Midway's selection of bullet molds tonight and was amazed not only that lots of molds are available again but also that some prices have come back down.

4 cases in stock is enough to make a guy find a 40-65 chambered rifle!

Our local farm store usually has a pretty good selection of basic firearms and ammunition but about a year ago had a bunch of 38 Super. I asked the guy at the counter and he said it was an ordering mistake.
Another gun shop had a bunch of 22 TCM come in that they had ordered by mistake. The good news for me was that I had such a firearm so bought it at a good price.
I currently know of a shop with a bunch of 50 Beowulf on hand that nobody is buying so I may pay them a visit at some point.

Never thought much about the .45-60, but... the .40-65 does something... Maybe it's the guns they're chambered in!
