I want to shoot off some 8 year old 9 mm hollow points and get some new HOme def rounds.

I live about half way between Bullet Hole and the Del water Gap at Rte 80.

 

Should I go to PA? Is it cheaper there?

Where do you live?

 

And what do you want to do? buy ammo or shoot?

well thats a good question. I fired the first post off on the train from my iPhone so I was to busy getting my fingers to type than to think it through.

 

I guess in a nutshell I am looking to see what makes economic sense. I am in Morris Plains and I have been to Bullet Hole a few times because I don't need to be a member and I REALLY like the Mark III they sold me used.

 

BUT, 9mm ammo is hardly as cheap as I once remember. I got the MkIII so I could shoot cheaper but nothing rounds out the day of 22LR shooting like 50 rnds of 9mm+P

 

Joining a range is right out at this point if the membership is over $100 (promised the wife we would take her riding some horseys' as trade for the Ruger).

 

If you could spare the time for a good rundown of options and costs I would much appreciate.

From my experience.. (Eastern PA).. dick's sporting goods is the same price, and Wal-mart is a hit or miss.

 

I never had a chance to check out any of the small shops except for gun shows. At the last one I went to, a few months ago, ammo prices by the case where starting to get reasonable at most vendors.

 

Since the gunrush, I've never found 9mm WWB at walmart.. but I could just be going at the wrong times. But they still have the 6 box limit IIRC.

 

I've found that unless I'm going out there for something else, it's just easier to order online, but as always YMMV.

last time I was in PA visiting my sisters I went by 3 Wal marts and a Dicks. All 3 Wal marts were fully stocked of ammo, 8.95 for a box of federal 9mm ammo is worth it. They had Winchester 100 count 9mm packs for 27.99, They had plenty of 45acp in stock. Bulk pack of shotgun shells were on sale. So I think its worth it. I wasn't impressed by Dicks, They had ammo, but it was around the same prices here, American eagle 9mm for 15.99. By the way if anyone wants to know I was in Hellertown PA.

When I buy new range ammo I usually make the trip to East Stroudsberg Pa. There is enough of a savings at the wally world to make the trip. Last time I checked the the best I saw in NJ was ~16 bucks for 50 9mm. get for 12 in PA.

Thanks guys. Very good info. I'll be making the trip this weekend.
