Ammo Mistake

[wizard1911]

Like everyone, I've been looking everywhere for ammo. All of the shelves in my area are empty and all of my online sources are out of stock. For some reason, I happened on the Sig site and they had 45 Colt in the blemished column. I ordered and received two boxes of 45 Colt. Unfortunately, it's 45 Long Colt. I'm almost positive I can't return it.

what were you really needing? .45 colt IS also known as .45 long colt.. but the real name is .45 colt ..

Probably looking for .45 ACP.

Easy solution, just go get a 45 LC revolver.

An elegant, simple solution!

I was ordering ammo after a few to many drinks one night and ordered 1000 rounds of 380 instead of what I read as 38 special.

Bought an LCP II once it showed up because what else was I supposed to do

Well and these days, likely cost efficient solution.

I still have a box of 6.5x54 Mannlicher Schonauer ammo on the off chance that I'll find a Greek rifle that I can afford.

I once bought a whole mess of Fal mags and .308 ammo from a guy in Texas. Great deal, what I paid was fair for the ammo alone but it includes a dozen Fal mags. Well, I get the huge box from UPS and when I opened it I found he had tossed in a ton of extra stuff including 200 rounds of .243. So naturally I bought an H&R .243.

It is a sign from beyond.
Sam Colt wants you to buy a new gun.

Yea long ago in a deal that my dad made, it was sweetened up when he was offered a few boxes of Scrounger 5.75 Velo Dog ammo to seal the deal..

My dad bought about 10 boxes of reloaded 303 ammo and the Velo and didnt have either firearm. I have had the stuff at least 20 years and I don't have either myself.

18.95 for a box of .45 Colt is a great buy.
You might have bought the last of it.
It is out of stock now.

Thats funny... I do the play it forward sometimes on Cast Boolits and a few times when I ship I would put in the package a few dried whole walnuts a buckeye nut or dried ear of corn just to see what is said.. Mostly I would get... dude wtf are the walnuts for....

Easy solution, just go get a 45 LC revolver.

Or sell it so someone that has a 45 LC revolver that would be more than happy to have a little more ammo in this drought

So do you have a 45 colt? Or a 45acp?

No kidding.....I have never seen 45LC for $18.95 a box....OP should list it to trade for some .45 ACP....ohhhhh wait they only have one post.....never mind.

Pet Peeve:

It's .45 Colt. Period.

But it came out when .45 Schofield was still a big deal. It's shorter than the .45 Colt. Can shoot .45 Schofield from a .45 Colt gun (generally), but not the other way around.

In essence, it's like the relationship between .38 Special and .357 Mag.

The real solution to OP's problem is to get a revolver in .460 S&W Mag. Then you can step down to .454 Casull. And then step down to .45 Colt. And then step down to .45 Schofield.

Aren't the lead Cowboy loads of 25 rd boxes that reasonably priced?
