    I try to post if I find some on Facebook to my buds but will continue to try and update here.

    Damn vultures beat me to the 1400 rd buckets but the CCI are of a much higher quality. There were 8 people lined up as I was walking up at 8. I was told by the clerk it's the same 5 guys that buy it all up before anyone else can get to it...

    They need to stop putting it out first thing in the morning. Put that **** out at random times. One day morning. One day 10 etc.

    It has taken me 3 months but I now have my stash up to an acceptable level to where I can take my son shooting his Ruger 10/22. I have bought it all using Gunbot.

    Dishonored I 100% agree and have suggested this a couple of times amongst my friends.


    The group of old men doing it were bragging about the 10,000 rds they bought from Academy in April and the fact that one or two here and there sold 4000 to a guy in Florida and other sales.

    I am all for the free market system, just sucks they don't leave any for the people who are on the way to work at 7:00 AM and can't wait around in the parking lot for an hour because they don't collect disability from the VA... One of the old coots beat a very nice lady in line there, and she had just bought her daughter a cool Ruger 10/22, and asked in the most sincere way in the parking lot to buy the ammo for $5 more than he just spent so that her daughter and other kids could shoot at their birthday party, and he scoffed and said "well yeah you can buy it but you gonna have to pay at least twice what I just bought this for..."

    That's just in poor form. I happened to know she was married to an acquaintance of mine, and not trying to get over on someone, and offered to give them half of my 525 golden hollow point brick I just bought for exactly what it cost me - $9 for half. My friend politely declined.

    Things like that **** me off. Mind you, this man and his friends have already bought 3-4 times this week prior to today according to the sales clerk.

    And see that makes my blood boil. I would love to go through some CQB course with them if they weren't so old. I still have a little fire and testosterone in me at 22. It has been way to long since I reminded someone they aren't tough captain dickhead. (I have also been shown Im not one either haha but that's been even longer)

    When I got my Buckmark a few years ago, I remember testing which bulk packs (Fed, Win, Rem) worked the best and deciding to only get the brand that failed the least. I miss being able to choose between stacks of bulk packs and CCI's :(

    I just support the local gun store.

    I might pay 3 cents more per round... but its not supporting the vultures. I figure, just as well support the legitimate business... and if 3 cents per round is going to break my bank , I shouldnt be shooting

    my local gunstore is a scumbag. 40.00 for a transfer and ammo prices that make you wonder whether to laugh or cry. I drive past his place, then 40 minutes away to make even minor purchases. how he stays in business i have no idea.

    Seeing as the other local shop want $50 for a transfer lmao, I'm pretty sure I know the place.
