No tax (except CT) & free shipping on bulk orders. They always have pretty good deals going on too.

Thanks, but damn, that place is not cheap.

I get shotgun target ammo at WalMart. 16 boxes (400 shells) for $100. These guys have it for about $32 more.

.45 ACP, for Winchester is $308 for 20 boxes (1,000 rounds) at a gun show. These guys are $379. Still cheaper than buying at locals stores though.

Anyone ever ordered from www.natchez.com? Someone at work mentioned them yesterday. A quick browse for Federal American Eagle (that's usually what I get if I don't get Federal Range/Target) 9mm and 45ACP yielded cheaper 50rd box pricing than local places. I'm not sure what shipping is yet, though.

On a side note, anyone ever use CCI Blazer? Their 9mm luger rounds are even cheaper than Federal Range/Target (both 115gr, FMJ). It seems to get good reviews up on bulkammo.com).

If its the aluminum case stuff, you may not like the way it feeds. The only way to tell is to shoot a few hundred rounds. If it works, your good, if not, buy brass.

I saw the aluminum blazer 45ACP for $12/box, but decided not to buy it before asking if the range would allow it. 2 ranges said no, 1 said yes.

On the topic of Blazer. When I got my 1911, i tested all kinds of ammo. One day me and a friend went to a range with 2 1911's, 200 rounds of bass Blazer, 200 rounds of Winchester and 200 rounds of Remington. Each one of us shot both guns with all 3 kinds of ammo at 5 yards, 10 yards and 17 yards, and we came to the same conclusion: Even though Blazer was the dirtiest, it was the most precise ammo with the best grouping. Winchester was the worst.

Shipping is reasonable i thought. Just ordered 1000rds of .45acp shipping was $28 i believe.

Thanks!
Hope it doesn't have the issues others had since I bought used and am already receiving mods before testing it.

Maybe it's because I never had one or care to have a gun but it seems to be more of a fad that's been going around I just don't see the point of buying one. Like what danger do u honestly meet everyday that leads u to owning a gun. So is there really a need I mean no disrespect just asking why ye feel the need

Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the little emotions.

Been looking around and Sig Sauer 1911 TACOPS may be the one, saw it in person the other day. I'll probably go to a local gun show towards the end of the year and see what I can find.

This thread is killing me, every time I see it I have to go get mine out and take it apart.

I know very little about it, but I am interested in a Pistol Caliber Carbine. Its cool that you can use Glock Mags in it (depending on which one you buy).

It costs more, but the Beretta CX4 Storm Carbine is more appealing to me.
