Ammo Questions

[xd ED]

That was well said.

I didn't know Pete long, but in the last year of his life we became pretty good friends.
Spent a few night together at Alary's- not heavy drinking so much, as siting out front on the sidewalk patio watching the city go by until closing. He was something of an insomniac, and I had just lost my dad. It was great therapy for me, but it was Pete being Pete...
We got together once to fix someone's furnace.
He had driven from the U to Richfield during rush hour, I happen to be working sorta close, so we met up and got it figured out, set him up with some parts. During the 1/2 hour or so I was there, he got 5-6 calls, all from people looking for help, advise, etc.
Invariably Pete was ready to jump into whatever was there, and every conversation had at least one of those signature chuckles....damn...

No kidding...

This is exactly what I was talking about.

You know that house in Richfield? That was mine. On Oakland Ave right? We had moved down here to Iowa, and Pete came to save the day when my Realtor found the furnace had quit working. He saved me likely hundreds of dollars that time, because, go figure, "Pete knew a guy" who could help. Pete always "knew a guy." I never knew it was you xd ED until right now. I owe you a big thank you. Even after passing, Pete never ceases to amaze me. He spent a majority of his time doing for others. Truly an example to be admired and followed.

xd ED, you'll have to let me know if there is ever a way an Iowa farmer can repay the favor!

Hey, Thanks for that...
It could well have been your house.. it was on a North/ South Street south of 66th, I think, west side of street; if it wasn't Oakland it was close by...
I recall it wasn't occupied, and Pete did say it was a guy from one of the gun boards the spirit lives on

Yep, that was me. it was the 6900 block of Oakland Ave (the house is now sold, so all you Effer's who might screw with somebody's mail can do whatever you want )

I never knew Pete, wish I did, and the world certainly needs more people like him in it. He has certainly influenced many it seems. I know I'm inspired by the posts here, and I'd love to hear the stories about him.

My Dad (whom I recently lost last month to Cancer) said he never cared for people who were full of themselves. He always liked the guy or gal who thought they weren't quite good enough, could always do a little more, be a little better, always humble, never boastful. Often times people like that don't think they are much or do much, they just trod along doing what they do without very much fuss about it, they just get things done while living their lives in service to others not because they get anything in return, but because that's who they are and what they do.

Pete seems to be like that from what I gather.

Is this stuff any good? Looks like a great deal. $9 bucks for 50 if you buy more than 10. It has aluminum casing, not reloadable.

For those that don't do links: CCI Blazer 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ Ammunition 50/box

9 bucks and it's not Russian junk.

I shot a lot of it with my first handgun, always worked great.

The only drawback to it that I know of is that you can't shoot it at Bill's.

I'd like opinions on if this is a good deal, price(s), and place to do business with........

1) First off, the ammo I'm looking at with the prices:

I found 1000 rounds of MagTech Blueline .45ACP 230gr FMC for $365.00 ( 36.5 each ) and 5,250 rounds of 22LR 36gr CPHP for $185.00 at luckygunner.com
For one box of each, it's $550.00 ammo cost before S&H. Add in the $52.08 and it's a total $602.08.

2) How does luckygunner.com fair? Anyone used them? How are their prices, service, etc?

Thanks in advance.

I've purchased from them before. Their prices are about average for online. IIRC, my purchase was delivered in less than a week. The only thing I don't care for is the relentless marketing emails that I got after the purchase.

Might check Glensoutdoors.com for .22 LR. Best price I've seen lately.
