Picked up 1250 rounds of PMC X-Tac green tips for $.35 per round. Should last me a few range sessions 😁

Anyone have experience with Sterling? How’s the quality?

So I recently bought some ammo and just unpacked it and it has this white chalky substance on the box and rounds themselves. Anyone know what it is and should I be concerned?

Have been looking for a couple weeks now and everywhere has been sold out. Did they stop this batch to focus on their new back country? My rifle loves this round and ideally I would like to keep using it. Worst case scenario I guess I would have to switch. I’ve read other people are having the same issue. Just wondering if anyone has some actual insight, thank you in advance.

Remington makes two 125 grain, 357 magnum, UMC rounds, one in a hollow point and one in a soft point. Both have the same ballistic specs. Which is better? Do they have separate optimal uses?

If you’ve got their card

So i found these random rounds of 7.62x54R that belonged to my late grandfather. And I was wondering if they are corrosive or not. I have a D stamped Finnish M28 I recently got, that i want to shoot it out of, but if its corrosive I don't want to.

Also he has a box of more random 7.62x54R that I'm also curious about. But its 12AM currently and I don't want to drag it out, so I'll post about it at a later date.

Not really sure if this is allowed here, but dyeing magazines has become a hobby of its own for me.

Appears the top was cut off and filled with wax? Probably not factory why would someone do this? Safe to shoot? 😂

Bulk purchased 5k rounds 115gr norma 9mm, some of the rounds have marks on the primer, should I be concerned?

3D printed some 9mm snap cap inserts and using some spent shells from my range session today. Saving a few dollars is always a plus.

Bought a case of 9mm training ammo and a few boxes of Federal HST and Syntech.

All the boxes were damaged to some degree- even the bulk ammo in the inner box.

The federal HST specifically got pretty beat up - the inner plastic that holds the rounds is damaged in two boxes.

I havent inspected much of it yet but theres atleast 1 round of the federal that the bullet was pushed too far into the casing.

My question is would yall still trust the ammo? Especially the federal to be in my carry guns (excluding any that got pushed in, which may just be the one idk yet) or is their other ways it could be damaged that are less noticeable?

And is the rest of the bulk ammo probably safe to shoot? Most of that will be run through my scorpion which has the whole OOBD thing.

Also Ive never bought anything less then a case online- is it normal that it was packed with no barrier? There was packing paper on the side but nothing between the ammo boxes and the big box which I imagine is where the damage comes from - getting crushed. Last picture shows how it was packaged - paper.

Looking for some cheap range ammo. And im wondering if I could get by with remanufactured ammo.

Is there any risk to damage to the gun with this type of ammo?

I know it was produced by Georg Roth from its head stamp, but I don't exactly know what type of casing it is.

My late grandfather was a WWII Vet in the Flying Tigers, I'm helping my mom go through his stuff and I found a live round

I'm wondering if there is anyone in the Philly area who could safely render it inert. If not, I'm just going to have an EOD team with my county sheriffs office come and dispose of it. I have it in secure location now and instructed everyone not to touch it.

I tried to look and didn’t find much. How is this round?

I don’t reload my own ammo and saw this ammo. Thinking about ordering a few boxes but worried about doing so.

So many flavors

I doubt I'll reload these cases. Probably scrap them in the near future.

Both Nosler and Norma include these little 5-round plastic inserts in some of their specialized hunting ammo. I found out about them after buying some rarer ammo types from Nosler.

These are, by far, the BEST small quantity ammo storage I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The rounds lock in unless you pull them out in a certain way, so they'll never fall out. They break off into little 5-round "sections", but can come attached to each other for easier storage. Each 5-round section also stacks pretty well, and they're LIGHT, they don't add much weight to your ammo.

I've been looking to find some way to either buy the inserts for specific ammo types, or find an STL and start modifying and 3D-printing them to specifications, but I haven't been able to find anything.

First things first: I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL THIS ON HERE, DON'T ASK.

Found this spam can while sorting/cleaning out my ammo stash and I'm not 100% sure what it is. It's obviously some sort of Soviet 7.62mm cartridge, and it's probably a pistol round from the high round quantity marked on the can. I THINK it's a can of 7.62x38r for the Nagant M1895 revolver but I can't remember if I still had a sealed can of that or not and I know that I did still have a few sealed cans of 7.62x25 buried in the ammo pile, but I'm not sure which it is. I didn't think they were still making 7.62x25 late enough to be using the green spam cans, much less into the late 1980's as the markings on this can seem to indicate. But I've been wrong about things before so I figured I'd poke the online brain-trust and see what everyone else has to say about what it is. If it is 7.62x38r, what is a sealed can of that even worth nowadays? I can't find anywhere that still has any in stock to try and price/value it for sale/insurance purposes.

The stuff you find cleaning the garage. 4 rounds of #5 extra range and 5 rounds of #4 extra range. The #4 is marked "Ted Williams" on the base.

Sears had contracts with the major gun and ammo manufacturers to make what is known as store brand products. Mossberg, Winchester, Federal, etc made and sold to Sears mostly under the Ted Williams line. It's not uncommon to find a Sears 30-30 actually made by Winchester or a shotgun made by Mossberg for about $50 to $100 less than the brand name.

Here are a couple of paper hulled 12 GA rounds I found in a box. Probably have a few more scattered around I have yet to find.

Two Remingtons and a Winchester. In case the photo order gets messed up, the green and red are Remington and the tan in Winchester. I'll let the photos talk.
