Is $212 for 500 rounds of Blazer 45 ACP 230 gr a good price?

[hminsky]

I found a source of Blazer 45 ACP 230 gr that comes out to $212 total for 500 rounds. Is this a good price compared to what people are seeing at Dick's or other gun shops?

~$0.42/round compared to $0.40/round with remington UMC or blazer aluminum at DSG.

 

[Madball13]

Brass or steel cased?

 

[Keystone]

Paid 19.99 for 50 remington UMC and DSG, which is $0.39/rnd. The case of 500 is $0.42/rnd.
However - .45 is a pain to find right now. Is $15 worth the fact that you have a decent supply of ammo?

When I can find them at Walmart Federals are $16 FOR 50.

I paid $89.99 for 250 rounds of .45 ACP Rem UMC @ Dicks Sporting and $32 for 100 rounds of .45ACP Win @ Walmart.

I haven't bought anything but defensive rounds for any of our handguns in so long I have no idea how much they're up to these days.

I'm going to go home and hug my reloading press.

That sounds a bit high. Especially if it isn't brass.

Jezz guys you pay a fortune up there for ammo.

Ish.

I wouldn't buy that ammo at all, but just my opinion. Several guys at the range have said the aluminum Blazers damaged their guns.

Same here. 45ACP costs about $6 per 50 to reload.

I think Rileys has some American Eagle (brass) for $100/250.

Never had any issues with my 1911 shooting aluminum Blazer. However, ater feeeding my G19 1000's of rounds, aluminum Blazer in sub-freezing temps was the only thing that ever made it jam.
