Wow!! The price I just paid for some ammo.
I never thought I’d see this day in my life.
I just wrote a check for $156.00 for 12 boxes of these
High fluctuant designer Remington Core-Lokt
12 gauge 2 3/4” Shotgun Slugs.
385grain mini dynamite sticks traveling at 1,900 FPS.
Man these things will really make a deer dead.

Now... if anyone believes that, I've got some .30-30s for sale.... although that '73 on Puglisi's might seem inexpensive in comparison!!!!casastahle wrote:...Man these things will really make a deer dead.

I bought South African PMP .243 ammo last year for $9.99 per box. It shoots quite accurately. In contrast, fresh Remington .243 ammo is more than double this price! YIKES!

I’m just trying to figure out what it was that got under my crawl and
made me all of a sudden decide I needed to buy these.
I’m not even going to say how many boxes of Win. Foster type slugs
I have in the gun safe. Which BTW have been more than adequate for years.

Re: Wow!! The price I just paid for some ammo.
I just bought 350 rounds of 2-1/2" low-pressure 16ga shells.
$172 + shipping. But now I'll have proper hulls to reload...

Re: Wow!! The price I just paid for some ammo.
I paid about $80+shipping once for ammo, but it was a butt load of 7.62x54R surplus. Still have alot left too; maybe I need another gun to help with my accumulating ammo problem....hmmm.
Hey OI, you got a fancy little tube gun for all that 16ga ammo?

Thing is, it requires 2-1/2" or shorter shells, so they have to be special ordered.

I don't want to say what I just paid for 50 rounds of Brenneke Black Magic slug loads. Of course, these will likely last a lifetime!

Here's a link to a few good dealers. http://16ga.com/cartridges.html
86er Joe suggested RST: http://www.rstshells.com/Shells-best.htm
Several of the 16ers like B&P: http://www.baschieri-pellagri.com/uk/main.html
I already bought from Polywad (before Joe suggested RST): http://www.polywad-shotgun-shells.com/
Polywad is 100% US made and are good folks to talk to on the phone - and were totally wiling to discuss "n00b w/old gun" issues.

Re: Wow!! The price I just paid for some ammo.
Thanks! Great info. I'll have to get my Model 12 fixed (screwed up the ejector shooting express loads!).
I'm thinking I have to look into reloading these shotgun shells - the prices are getting rediculous.

Well here they are guy’s.
Just by chance you were wondering what $ 156.00 worth of deer slaying, in there
Tracks ammo. looked like.

Re: Wow!! The price I just paid for some ammo.
Do you think we can be bailed out if we can't afford the ammo for our guns. I have been shopping for a while and i'm now looking into casting my own. I wonder what it would take to make brass shells?
