I found a box of .270 in my ammo bag. I don't even own a .270, might see what it brings on the ammo market! Was $30 for box of 20 near here (Alvin)

STUPID EXPENSIVE!
just ordered 1k rounds of 7.62x39 steel, all in was 492.26 for ammo that used to be half that.
it's gonna get worse before it gets better imo. stock up if ya can. It was $89.00 / 1000 when I bought my Kalashnikov!

A guy at work and I have been looking for .270. He said he found some at a small gun store this weekend and the guy wanted $60 a box. I don’t want it that bad. If it was Federal Premium or one of the other top brands of Hunting Ammo that used to be $35-40 / 20 then that price isn't as bad as some.

it's gonna get worse before it gets better imo. stock up if ya can. I checked the inventory they had at 5:30 this morning before leaving for work seeing several cases of Wolf and Red Army but did not order any and now that I changed my mind it is all gone. I would get some more of the corrosive primer but still have a half case I want to use up before I get another of it. Have never seen it go that fast.

If you can find it, buy it. this silly you can't even buy shotgun shells what you lookin for, I may have sources. If you could tell me where to get some foster style slugs for a 12 ga I will love you forever. Can't find a single on in Amamrillo and not one mail order place has any either.

From what I've read .223 and 5.56 is twice that. Your apparently should be greatfull to get it at that price.

I can get it for .75c to 1.50 a round depending on what it is, 855 is about .80c per right now. lucky for me I have a few layin around, just built the 7.62 so I could still buy cheaper ammo, barely cheaper.

If you can find it, buy it. Very good advice!

Years ago everyone was building the 5.45 x 39 Russian uppers cause the ammo was dirt cheap...Then the surplus supply ran out and it skyrocketed!

It is a style of slug for a 12 ga. Not a brand name.
