I'm pleased the coffee companies AND the "What oil do you use" companies haven't got spambots on the job.

I don't know much but I've read:
1). The steel cartridge case causes more wear and/or jamming in fine-tolerance rifles.
2). It doesn't trumpet to make a seal. So less precision.
3). The lacquer coating will heat up and eventually turn the entire weapon into a giant amber blob for people of the distant future to wonder at in some museum two leagues under the sea.

Well, since we're here...if anyone is looking for a good source for spoon food, consider these guys: Bone Frog

Owned/operated by a former Team Guy. Excellent service and prices (speaking from personal experience).

Towards the tail end of the ammo crisis, I was paying $1 a round for .308. I think I can get it for closer to $0.80 now.

Heck, I was paying $2.50 a round for .510 recently.

I think most of my ammo still pre-dates Obama...

That's an amazing price for loaded ammo. My handload consisting of a 50 grain Hornady V-Max over 25 grains of IMR4895 with a CCI 400 primer comes out to about 28 cents per round. The bullet is the real killer, at about 16 cents each.

My cost for my cast bullet handgun ammo (.357 and .44 mags, .45 Colt, .45 ACP) runs between six and ten cents per round, depending on which powder I'm using. Free bullets have a way of really keeping the costs down. My cast bullet .45-70 and .458 Winchester magnum loads start creeping back up into .223 territory at over 20 cents per round, but only because they chew through an awful lot of powder.

Boy, I have to say, at 27 cents per round, that's awfully tempting. Brass alone in .223 is 20 cents per round and up. To think, for a measly extra seven cents each, I can shoot them once before reloading. Hmmm...

I was transferring my one box of ammo and rifle to the boat when it tipped and ended up in the Pacific ocean. So bummed.

If you need 223/5.56 brass I'll start saving mine for ya...

You guys are making me jealous with all of this talk of buying cheap ammo on line. I spend a fortune at the local gun shop every time I go to the range.
