Target Sports Delivering Again - Megathread

This isn't going to help either View attachment 627159

Banning Russian made ammo from being imported into the US (which accounted for a 0.0X% of Russian GDP) and now this are BACK DOOR GUN CONTROL measures to make 'getting into' firearms, stocking up on ammo, or doing any real practice/training too expensive for more and more people.

Hasn't it always been like that?

Anything coming from LC is technically "floor sweepings".

Not floor sweepings per se, but government orders take priority. Only after they are filled can Winchester produce for the civilian market. Between retooling for the 6.8x51 hybrid and the shipments to Ukraine, they may have real capacity constraints. I trust news reports attributed to "a person with knowledge of the situation" not at all, especially since it would require a contract modification and Harris and the gang would love to trumpet such a move.
 
I was under the impression that if the product didn't pass milspec it was sold off to the commercial market
Hence the XM193 & XM855 designation on the Federal ammo instead just M####
 
Just checked a few other sites I have used, all around .48-.50.

I thought shit was supposed to be getting better by now.

I just placed an order with Norma for their 223. They don't ship to MA so I'm shipping to the UPS Store in Salem, NH for a $5 fee. Also there's a 5% off coupon code (Welcome5). Free shipping too!
Worked out to be just under 44 cpr shipped!

Be VERY careful with Norma 223. They're the MFR that had some major issues with ammo recently. Uncrimped cases, backwards primers, overset projectiles, and at least one AR blowing up because of overpressure. Most of that ammo was sold by AmmoShopOnline, but I'd still be careful.

Yeah I saw that. That ammo in question was US made bulk Norma 223 sold by ammo shop online in ammo cans

The stuff directly from Norma’s website says “Made in Germany, in close cooperation with RUAG’s Defense and Law enforcement division”
And it’s 30 round boxes.

I’m not too concerned.
 
If there’s any non-Prime members looking for 9mm, there’s another vendor who ships to MA who has 1k round cases of blazer brass 9mm for $320 shipped. PM if interested
Doesn’t beat Prime pricing of course lol
