Fleet farm lakeville had 250 round UMC(?) boxes for $105.



I may have to make a trip.

...and if the 9 is made outside the US, the .45 probably is too.


It seems to me that if a product being "American made" is one of your criteria for deciding on a purchase, that you'd at least flip the box over to check before buying it. No?

Yeah, but then again perhaps it doesn't matter. I'd prefer it to be American made, but as long as it's quality, that's the important part most of all. I just try to buy American made when and where I can, unfortunately that's harder to do these days; and on some stuff, it's impossible.

Yes. I am bad. I must redeem myself. At least my Ruger is American made.

Huh... Check that out.

http://www.luckygunner.com/magtech-45-a ... fmcmt-1000

Out of stock and at .55 a round since for 1,000 rounds they want $555.00. I paid .45 a round and $450.00 for 1,000. Guess I did alright by that. I think .55 is insane, .45 is overpriced, .30-.45 is reasonable, .25 is friggin' awesome per round.
