Twixt that war in the Middle East and China driving up the scrap price of raw metal; ammo prices have gone thru the roof lately.
Maybe we should share info on where/how to get ammo locally for the best price. Reloading is, of course, a preferred method, but that requires a significant inital outlay many cannot afford.
The info I might share is to point out that Federal has a rebate going for it's grey box - "Power-Shok" centerfire rifle ammo. It runs till the end of the year. Limit 2 boxes. $5 a box. You will need an application slip, but these have been availible down at G.I.Joes (they may be at other locations as well).
Good luck and happy blasting....
