I was freaking out buying 2 boxes of .380 today...but it went fast, so I can see I might need to get these in bigger quantities now that I know I can do a range trip by myself and that I really like shooting!No problem:
Ammo is pretty resilient stuff, so for the most part just keep it from being submerged in water for any length of time and it will be good to go. Remember, militaries around the world are tossing it around in trucks and in packs in all sorts of conditions from the heat and sand of the desert to the frigid wastes of the arctic.
Many of us, myself included, but surplus ammo cans from various sources, or use the field boxes they sell at big box stores to organize our ammo. Sometimes I’ll keep those little desiccant packs that come in electronics and toss those in.
As far as case sizes:
Most case sizes we buy in bulk are 500 or 1000 rounds for most standard calibers.

I'll check prices on .380. I can see that this is going to be an expensive "hobby".....Mail order from the Armory...
500rds of 9mm = $87
500rds of 5.56 = $104
Not having to dig into reserves = priceless
I was at the range today....I was looking for Jeppo, but he wasn't there...I guess I picked the wrong day/time......That same case was 16.2 cents today.
Thanks for the leads, and since I'm using .380, I really hope I can find good prices, as it looks like I'm going to be a regular at the range.....@Millie if you want some real deals on stuff, subscribe to wikiarms and check gun.deals websites. You can be overwhelmed at the amount of stuff sold cheaply every day on those 2 sites alone.
9mm, 7.62x39, and 5.56 are back at their pre-2012 lows, sometimes with free shipping. By black friday, barring some unforeseen idiot shooting up a NFL game or something, I think prices will be at 20 year lows.
That's an interesting idea, wonder if the range lets you do that. I just swept it up and tossed it in the barrel . If I keep up with the multiple box shooting trips, though, I can see how it's going to get expensive, fast.Millie, you may want to pick up your brass after shooting. This cleans up the range and you can reload it later to save money. If you don't want to reload, sale it here on the forum or online to those that do to recope some of that money toward more ammo!

I was the other guy shooting there this morning.I was at the range today....I was looking for Jeppo, but he wasn't there...I guess I picked the wrong day/time......
(Did you get the gun? Sorry I missed you, but I had fun!!)
No way!!I was the other guy shooting there this morning.

As to me reloading....nope. (Not that I know anything about it, but it doesn't sound like a fun or safe thing for me to do!)
That sounds like a lot at first, but if you shoot a lot......
I can see where you could go thru that amount pretty quick!
Yep! I took advantage of that sale. Twice.PSA Blazer .22 ammo 300 rd box $12, free ship on 10+ boxes (.04 per rd)

Holster arrived yesterday, Ive not messed with it yet but I worry that they sent the wrong holster (though the packaging says G17)
Just doesnt look right to me
Thank you!! I never knew such a thing existed but this is exactly what I need. My glasses get pressed against my head giving me a headache after a long day at the range.Noisefighters gel pads HL-100 to replace the set on my HL Impact Sport earmuffs.
These are silicone gel filled, about 50% thicker and have recess for your safety glasses to fit so you don't get a poor seal or headaches.
They snap right in like original.
Update: Super comfortable, blocking out more noise (I also use 3M foam plugs).

Well it is a Blackhawk holster for a Glock. You didn't expect to win beauty contests did you?
