National Ammo Day

[dwarven1]

So... what did everyone do for National Ammo Day?

I picked up a couple of boxes of Rem UMC .357 magnum JSP at Dicks and used my 10% off coupon.

 

[sourcehill]

20 box of Horndy 200-gr .45 +p JHP from Bass Pro!

 

[Admin]

On my way home I will be buying some .40 and 12ga ammo.

 

[pipmaster1971]

100 Rounds of 45 ACP
50 Rounds of 44 Magnum
50 Rounds of 45 Long Colt
30+ of .410 shot shells
10 .410 slugs

Boom bang!!!

Will be buying some .500 S&W so I can borrow a big gun on pumpkin day.

 

[Slim]

50 .357 magnum
100 .38 special

Going to be trying out a 586 this week and I'd like to take it for a nice test drive before deciding to buy it or not. Wonder what it would do to a pumpkin?

The .357 ammo will do much more damage than the .38 will.

Does picking up 1300 rounds of 223 at the pumpkin shoot qualify?!

 

[Underwhere]

Damn. Maybe I should take a drive up to NH to walmart.
I didn't realize today was national Ammo day.

 

[JackO]

... and used my 10% off coupon.

What coupon? I thought the last 10% off expired Oct 31.

 

[Fooped]

Setting up a deal for some 12 gauge for pumpkin massacre-ing.

I like to do my part.

 

[Weerd Beard]

Spam Can of 7.62X54R and a few boxes of 12 guage

 

[Cuda444]

Anyone know if the KO Slugs at dick's are still cheap cheap cheap? Like 1.69 a box for 5 or something like that? I need some more 12 ga ammo fit to kill pumpkins with!

 

[doobie]

I bought 300 rds of 223 at Dicks on Friday. It was cheap. I think I paid $55 out of pocket; but I also had a $20 dicks cash from their reward program.

I'm thinking of buying a box or two of 22lr from wally works on the way home from work to supply my new toy.

I think that this whole week is National Ammo Week, but check the website to be sure. Try www.ammoday.com, too.

Why November 19?

There is really no particular reason November 19 was chosen. It did not conflict with any other holiday or event on the U.S. calendar.

We found, however, that people preferred to buy their ammo at gun shows or over weekends, which is why National Ammo Day is now National Ammo Day/Week.

However, we would me remiss if we did not mention that November 19 is the birthday of Kim du Toit (the creator of National Ammo Day). Kim couldn’t think of a nicer way to celebrate his birthday than it helping send a signal about how the value of the Second Amendment and our ammunition manufacturing industry. And, if we make our target of 5 BILLION rounds sold, his birthday wish will come true.

What coupon? I thought the last 10% off expired Oct 31.

I picked up a sheet of coupons there a few months back and found it this weekend while I was cleaning out my computer room. If I still had a working scanner I'd scan it in, but my scanner shit the bit a few months back.

I don't think so. I think that sale was only for a week or two. I'd expect to pay roughly 3 bucks for a box of 5 Brenneke KO shotshells. It's still cheaper than a box of Remington Sluggers.

 

[Cuda444]

Hmm, thanks for the input guys. I'll have to check it out on my way to work tomorrow.

 

[Underwhere]

I just went to walmart in Nashua and picked up 200rds of remington 223 and 300rds of winchester 45acp

I'm thinking I should have bought more.

 

[Mike1911]

Bought
500 rounds Q3131 .223
200 rounds of AE .223
500 rounds .45acp
500 rounds .40S&W

 

[SKS Ray]

I picked up a couple hundred rounds of some very hard to get ammo today but I'd rather not say what or where it came from. People are watching and we have rules to adhere by. I'll be bringing it to the Pumpkin shoot though.

 

[drgrant]

Theoretically I should stop at the Dicks in Leominster tonight and
buy some ammo.

More than likely, however, I'll have to buy ammo at FS on
Friday? instead. Does that make me a bad person for not
buying it exactly on the 19th?

-Mike

 

[Carguy]

100 rounds of 7.5 French.

 

[Moderator]

I'm due for some 9mm and .45ACP

 

[Twigg]

Did my part !

100 rounds of Federal V-Shock .17HMR for the mousegun !

 

[Snapshot]

Completely forgot about it. That's ok. I have all week. I'll pick up some .40 since that's the only thing I'm low on. I think FS still has some ranger left over

 

[GSG]

Ha ha, I bought 150 rounds, but I didn't know that today was the day.

Proud to be an accidental supporter.

 

[Tiktock]

150 rds of 240 gr .44 Mag
300 rds 9mm
500 rds .22

 

[hminsky]

300 rounds of .380

 

[doobie]

1100 rds of 22lr.

 

[Frizz]

change

For those of us that may have been busy on Nov 19 in particular, could we change it from Ammo Day to Ammo Month?

That's why Kim made it a WEEK - long as you do it this week, you're celebrating properly. TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Tell the guys at your gun store!

And don't forget that if you're coming to the Pumpkin Shoot from the east (or off of 495) you pass right by Blue Northern - they have lots of ammo... and unlike a certain gun store in North Attleboro, they have better things to do than call the CHSB and whine.

You'd have to run that by Kim duToit - http://www.theothersideofkim.com/index.php/tos/
