Old Ammo

So my gun dealer, Engage Armament, has a bargain table full of boxes of old ammo for sale. It looks like he cleaned out his garage of personal ammo. I paw through this table. Why?

Well for one, the ammo is on sale. There is a couple bargains in there.

Another reason is that the boxes often have the ORIGINAL price on there. Talk about depressing. $11 for a box of Remington .357 semi-jacketed hollow point? Jeez, that would be nice. Even as an old bargain table item it goes for $20 today.

Yet another reason… the ammo isn’t ordinary. I get to try out things like semi-wadcutter .45ACP ammo, and such. It’ll be nice to know.

I picked up 5 boxes of Federal Hydra-Shok 95 gr .380ACP at the "yard sale" for the MA 2A advocacy group last September.

$10 each.

That's a good $5 less per box than WWB at Wally World...

Old but unopen. Shot it all up already but so sweet!
