LOL!

Forgot to mention they had several .223 100 packs for $39.99. I think it was Winchester?

They had 9MM and .40 S&W. I'm surprised that they do not have 30-06. Also, they had Winchester 555 pack of .22LR. I have about 2500 rounds so I left it for someone else.

Got another 5 boxes at Bensalem WM. This time they had "Federal Champion FMJ" for $8.97 a box. I can not believe how WM can sell that cheap!!

Walmart usually has the 100 pack 2 3/4" 12 Ga x 7 1/2 for $20-$22

Dry fire like crazy and use snap caps. This creates a more positive "muscle memory" and reaction when the trigger is pulled. I was like this for the first 200 rounds of getting a hand gun. I started to dry fire and concentrated on keeping the sites on small random objects at varying distances. I would dry fire 5-10 minutes every night until there was NO movement at all when dry firing.....the sight would not move from the object no matter how many times I would dry fire. Also, to make sure you have the correct grip, aim at an object with one eye on the sights (and object) then close both eyes (without moving) and open the aiming eye again. If your aim is on the same spot then that's a grip and stance that will probably work well for you. Now when you get to the range concentrate on a very small target about 5-7 yards away...think of NOTHING else. If you see "muzzle flash" at the end of your shot, chances are you are not flinching. If not you probably are. At that point keep focusing on nothing but the target and sites until the flinching is gone. I had to go through this with my wife and the only way to get her to stop thinking about the "recoil" was to draw a small circle on the target and told her she must hit it. By the third mag she saw the muzzle flash and was very close to hitting her target. keep dry firing and simply keep practicing...the recoil thing won't even enter into your mind if you keep at it.

This is new and was cleaned before I used it. Shot 150 rounds of CCI without a problem, cleaned it and then had the problems with the Remingtons. The reason I think it's the bullets is because they would mis-feed, duds and then the last loud "bang"! Could it be the action or that the bullet was not seated properly when the firing pin struck?

Why is this stuff so bad? Will I be ok shooting the Federal 36 grain that I got from Walmart as well? I have a Savage 64 and zero problems when I used CCI. I heard the Federal is good, but now I am wondering.

I know in my 92FS' manual it says to "dry fire" with snap caps only....My XD9 does not.

A few weeks ago my son and I spent 2 hours shooting the .22LR with CCI standard velocity loads. We had a lot of fun and not one glitch. Well a week or so ago I "scored" a 550 pack of Remington's "Golden bullets". Let me tell you, these are the dirtiest most unreliable POS I have ever shot. We drove 30 minutes to a WMA site, set up targets and were set to go. We were ready to have some fun. The first ten rounds there was no problem. The next mag we had a feeding problem...fixed it, no big deal. Then a dud. Next mag no problems and it was my turn to shoot. Loaded up the mag, inserted it and was ready to go. I began to start shooting...pop...pop..KABOOM!!!!! What the heck! It was so loud my ears were ringing. The action/slide jammed and the casing was stuck in the slide. I pointed the gun down range with the safety on for a minute or so and then removed the mag and casing. It appears that the primer was completely split open. I assume the primer "exploded"? Is that possible? Moral of story, this ammo is crap and I will not use it anymore. Thank God no one got hurt. I do have two bricks of Federal bulk packs...is that stuff any better? i have read the Remington .22LR bulk packs are REAL BAD, but I assumed it was just people complaining....they were right. i heard the Federal brand is much better. BTW, we stopped at that point because we did not know if we had a squib or whatever. Turns out the barrel was clear when we got home and cleaned the rifle. I ain't using that junk anymore!

Picked up two 550 "bricks" of Federal 22LR at Walmart last week for $13.47 a box. Just call before you go...in PA.

However, what if it's used for "pest" control....squirrels tearing apart your siding, yard, etc. You have to be able to do something...sheesh! They are infringing on your property....

Wow...here is what I did last weekend. My son and I went to a WMA site with my .22 LR Savage. We had a blast for 2 hrs of shotting all sorts of targets and getting proficient with a rifle. When all was said and done we calculated it out and it was $4.50!!! Wow, where can you have 2 hrs of shooting fun for $4.50? That's why picking up those value packs any chance I can is worth it...gosh, $13 is really worth it! Don't get me wrong, shooting a 30-06 or 9MM is great but that amount of shooting would cost $60 with my 9MM and $165 with 30-06!

Ok, my wife said "That's it"! I just scored some more $8.97 9MM brass and a couple of .22LR Remington Copper plated HP bricks. I have enough to last my target shooting for quite some time! I figure, even with gas/tolls, I have saved over $100 or more buying this way and no stupid LOG BOOKS! However, now I'm broke... ....but "less" broke...

Call around and get it in PA or De where they do not log ammo purchases! I find it total BS that they log every single piece of ammo I buy....this is one step away from "ammo audits"...

I will bring my gun to Church because it is Holy....very Holy! It has a hole in the front and back of the barrel... a finger hole and a bullet hole...yes, very Holy?

Wow! That went fast!

I called at 1:00 and they has NOTHING. What time did you go?

Seems like the further from the border the easier it is to find...I have noticed .40S&W has been at every place I've gone. So much for the theory of "get the ammunition the government uses for availability..."

+1 However, my friends don't call it anything...they just think "I'm nuts". That's what they said when I got my Pilot's license! However, after I took them up they wanted to get theirs! I have funny feeling if they shot my gun they'd want to get one! Being "nuts" is all subjective.

My Dad has a S&W 686 (.38/.357) and I love it! I put tight groups up to 20 yards and I could never do that with my 9MM Semi-autos. That gun, along with a .22 pistol are next on the list....maybe!

Sorry I forgot to mention that....that is correct. It's about 25 minutes for me. Considering that 9MM at the range is $15 a box and this is $8.97 it's worth it. I could have got more .22LR but I was running low on cash. I have plenty of .22 for now but I'm sure I'll kick myself later on. I figure when all is said and done between gas/tolls it comes out to $1.25 extra per box....still well worth it for me.

Wow...scored again and there was plenty on the shelf to spare! This time I got the 550 box of .22LR Remington high velocity $16.97 per brick and $8.97 a box for 9MM Blazer brass. Filled up again....I have enough to last me quite a few trips to the range! Yeah, because my wife and kids keep saying they want to go back to the range. Wow, I hope this is a good sign, at least for the time being.

I'm sure that is NOT Jersey legal....

I pretty much do the same. I start off at 7 yards 8 shots to chest, then 8 to the head. Number and mark shots on the target. Then I do the same for 10 and 15 yards. As long as my groups are tight I move to the next step. I lie my pistol on the table, grab the gun as fast as I can and fire 3 quick shots from 7 yards. If I am on I do it again and aim for a specific spot after grabbing the gun off the table. It ain't so easy because I try to make the situation seem like it would be in the real world. I will do this one and two handed....it ain't as easy as it seems. It's hard to get to this point because of obvious reasons like cost of ammo, etc. However, I would imagine this is how the real world would be....real targets don't stand in the middle of a room waiting to get shot. I'm sure they move, duck, etc. Grabbing a gun and firing quickly is a great way to learn to shoot and aim in a whole different manner.
