.45 plinker ammo???

[Bronsonbull]

Hello,

I'm looking for a good price on some .45 plinker ammo. I really like Magtech. If you have any local or online sources with good pricing, let me know.

Thanks!

Wal Mart sells the REMMINGTON .45 UMC FMJ 250 MEGAPAK for $81.97 which comes out to $87.70 with tax or .35 per round. I have not found it cheaper than that around here or online once you add in the shipping. If someone does please let me know where!

Note not all WalMarts sell it. The one in Hammond, IN does but not the one in Schereville, IN. So you may have to call around.

Walmart around here sells Blazer Brass .45 for 14.95 or so, lets call it $15. With tax the total comes out to $0.32 per round.

Wideners for ammo

South African Brass 220 grain. Shoots great and not very dirty.
50 packs are more $$ you have to buy in bulk to save as like everything else.

Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply INC

1000 pack for 28¢ a round
maybe $20 for shipping would make 30¢ rd.

They are running way behind due to demand.

Fyi...I found Magtech, Blazer Brass and Federal for $14 per 50 at Natchezz.

$10 shipping. Not bad. I ordered Magtech and Federal and some Hornaday XTP JHPs.

Hum.. is that not $14 + $10 = $24 / 50 rounds = .48 cents per round which is more than the Wal-Mart price?

Nope. $10 in shipping for the 8 boxes I ordered. Cheaper than Wallyworld and I think better ammo.

Percision has a good deal on .45 @ .27 per round

I emailed them to see if local pickup is possible since they are based out of Hobart, IN (NW Indiana) which would save on shipping!

Georgiaarms.com that is a DEAD LINK??

Precision Delta is out of stock on the 45 and more expensive.

Atlanta Ammo does not list their prices. =/

FYI...

Local pickup *IS* allowed from precision!

Yes you can, but please call beforehand so we can have your order ready for you

Does someone know what the difference between these are?
http://www.precisioncartridge.com/R...on-Commercial-Wholesale-Price-List-Page-1.pdf

185 grain JHP
185 or 20l grain SWC
230 grain RNL
230 grain FMJ
230 grain JHP
​

I know JHP is Jacket Hollow Point and FMJ is Full Metal Jacket.
What on earth is RNL and SWC?

Also I've only shot REMMINGTON UMC 230 Gr. JHP or FMJ. Do the 185 gr have "less recoil" since it's a smaller weight? Not sure if I would even want to use 185 gr since I'm on the menatlity that you train with that you are going to use and since I use 230 gr HJP as my personal defense load not sure I should train with anything else.

What on earth is RNL and SWC?

RNL - round nosed lead
SWC - semi wadcutter

 

[jedi]

Thanks but what does that mean exaclty?
I know that JHP "mushroom" up when they hit a target so in the case of the human body they do more damage in theory since the 1st hole is small but as they musrhoom up they damage more and if they exit the wound is bigger.

FMJ is just the opposite in terms of just a metal round that goes in and comes out.

So what purpose do the other two have?

RNL are cheaper than jacketed, typically used for practice.
SWC cut pretty perfect round holes in paper targets. Typically used for target shooting.

Thanks! So at $210.02 for 1000 .45 RNL that comes out to .21 cents per round which I think is the cheapest I have ever seen for .45! I may have to move some money around and give these a try.

The only problem I have found with RNL is that it's so dirty both to load into your mags as well as shoot. I prefer much more to spend an extra few per round and get FMJ for plinking.

If you're interested in shooting some RNL, let me know and I can trade you, I have about 100 rounds left and I would trade it for 75 rounds of FMJ.

 

[jedi]

Thanks for the tip Wagswook. Will you be at the Indy 1500? If so I think I'll take you up on your offer. I have REMINGTON UMC 230 Gr FMJ that I'm willing to trade to give the RNL a try and see just how dirty they are.

PM me if you like or just post here.

If you really want to mess things up, Jeff Cooper initially suggested that a 200 grain SWC going the original 900 fps was an ideal defense round if it can feed in your gun. Then, he switched to the 230gr truncated cone. The only component available for the 230grain load Coop suggested was Hornady (their HAP line of bullets for handloading). Just a neat aside...

Lead round nose can be clean or dirty, depending on obturation, powder burn speed, powder burn temp, etc... Pressure can ruin a good thing, causing a burnt lead seal, icky. For a general guideline, no company on earth has made a clean 230gr. LRN that is factory loaded. But, due to lead's ability to seal, most are stupid accurate!

Good luck guys with your deal! Be careful at the gunshow!

I've shot 200 & 185g lead SWC for a few years and to be honest, I don't see much difference between it and WWB. Of course, with cowboy shooting, I'm very used to lead and how dirty it is while handling, so it doesn't bother me. If you're a neat freak and don't want dirty hands while shooting, well get an air rifle...
