I don't recommend buying ammunition at Bills.
does Bills even sell steel cased ammo? I wouldn't know

Edit: I shoot steel cased ammo a lot. I rarely have issues, but I haven't found any perfect ammo anywhere.
Maybe it's because me and my guns.

You mistunderstood that statement. Bills gun shop is in Circle Pines I live in Lino Lakes so its the closest gun range to me. I get my bullets from fleet farm or walmart to take to bills to save myself the few bucks because they're both on the way there, or on my way home from work.


Everytime I buy a box of ammo at fleet farm I buy a box of the WPA's for storage.. That was the rule I made for myself in the event of an emergency..

I misunderstood it on purpose. :didntdoit: Obvious troll is obvious.
I'm a bargain hunter myself, I'm usually pretty frugal, but I have weaknesses.

You are doing it right!

I do the same thing with Chef Boyardee beef ravioli. I'm a pretty fat guy and I like to eat every day. I can't shoot every day.

2 years ago (while every store was out of ammo) at a local walmart a store the clerk put up a clearance sign in front of some Swiss RWS 9mm brass ammo, $4 per box of 50. the big sign on top of the case limited ammo purchases to 6 boxes. I talked to the kid for a few minutes, he called the manager on duty who said "If it's on clearance he can buy as much as he wants" So I brought home all 22 boxes. I checked all my nearby walmarts that week, and never saw that price again.

Chef Boyardee is good during a zombie apocalypse it won't spoil because its canned and it's delicious.. Plus you can do **** with the can's like make grenades or load them with rocks and use it as a blunt weapon..

that's what i'd do..

The woman who occasionally works the desk at Burnsville pistol range has made a couple negative comments when a buddy and I showed up with Wolf Ammo. So we bought a couple of Wolf Performance Ammo t-shirts that we wear each time we shoot there. :D

Hahah... what did she say? She always seems to glower at me when I'm picking up my brass. Sometimes she'll come in and sweep it away too if I don't stay on top of my game. :roll:

that's the reason I shoot steel at indoor ranges, I don't like having to chase around my brass. Outdoors I shoot brass as there's more opportunity to pick up all my casings...


Since we got the shirts, she hasn't been working when we go in....going to wear them each time until she's there!!!

For those who need more information on Zombie Survival. This guy has really thought this through.
http://artofmanliness.com/2011/07/11/ho ... l-shotgun/

For this project, I decided to build a survival kit using a shotgun platform–creating the Ultimate Survival Shotgun. My challenge was that everything had to be included in or on the gun itself–no extra pack items or containers. Below is what I did as well as the survival logic behind each decision.

Yeah, thought it through poorly.

Nothing like a 15 lb shotgun for when you have to carry everything everywhere. And nothing like having to lug 12 shells instead of .223 or 9mm or something.

But come on, it's got condoms, a bayonet, a rail mounted compass, flashlight and a fricking saw... in addition to a variety of ammunition stored directly on the gun.

One of the guys I used to deer hunt with showed up with his extended magazine 870 wearing a buttstock ammo saddle + a sling loaded with slugs in addition to his 14" bowie knife, etc... THAT was some zombie medicine. I let him walk the opposite side of a creek we were pushing and after we met up with our posters (no zombies or deer were located that day) and jumped in the truck where he stripped that baby down like the day be bought it and loaded up 4+1 in the gun for the rest of the pushes. I'm pretty sure his arms and back were fatigued enough from hauling all that stuff around that he would have had trouble getting the gun up to make a chance shot if we kicked out a deer/zombie. :)

There's something to be said for keeping the gun lightweight and stashing ammo & other items on your person rather than mounted to your firearm of choice unless it's just supposed to look cool at the range or living room when showing off for the boys. Short rail mounted bayonets on Glock pistols may get an exemption but only if you leave it connected to the gun while using it to field dress a deer.
