Exclamation Cheap .45ACP range ammo heads-up:

I received an e-mail from Natchez 10 minutes ago letting me know they have .45ACP Blazer back in stock for $17.99.
I know a lot of people don't like aluminum Blazer but I've shot 5 or 6 cases of it, both 9mm and .45ACP, down thru the years and I haven't had a bit of trouble with it.
It's much cleaner than UMC......
Great stuff for people, like me, who are too lazy to pick up brass.

The Wally World around here (Illinoize) has Federal .45 for $16, FWIW.

If the Wally Worlds around here had it for that price I'd be all over it.
The local ones don't even know what 9mm or .45ACP ammo is.

I've always had very good luck with the aluminum blazer myself. My first 200 break in rounds thru my PM45 were aluminum blazer, since I didn't want to try reloads until I knew factory was running. Even as a reloader I'll occasionally get it when I'm behind on the press and the deal is right. I've even had to order it recently for department range use 10,000 rounds (thats a lot of very pretty brass I don't get to see) for lack of being able to get anything with a brass case which hurts me too, since alot of that once fired dept brass finds it's way thru my reloading press prior to being traded in for new ammo and stuff.
If the deal is there you gotta go for it. I've not checked our local Wally Worlds yet but I intend to hearing all the talk around here.

I always check the Wally Worlds around here, but they rarely have .45. *sigh*

Ammo Direct reloaded brass, 230 gr FMJ box of 50 - $18.73

Note that the brass cases are worth at least $2.50 per box, since companies like Atlanta Arms offer $.05 apiece for clean, sorted brass in trade. Surely, some reloaders would pay that much and more locally. So, there can be some advantage in collecting brass, even if not a reloader. You need a sorter and a tumbler. Aluminum cases though have no value I know of.

Wally Worlds are getting much better around here (Miami) for ammo, lots of 9mm (my cartridge of choice) lots of 40's, some 38's and recently some 45's. The only one I never see is 380's not that I need them but one of m friends is always looking for them, one more reason not to own a 380 I guess.

The Brown truck driver struggled up to my door this afternoon with about 43 lbs. of 45ACP ball.
I'm ready to now.
