Bought more than one box and me
wallet is lighter also.

Really had to go shopping today for
the following which I found after the
search at seven different ammo sources -

2 20Rd boxes Federal Champion .32 S&W Long, 98 gr. LRN $11.95 ea.
1 50Rd box Winchester SuperX .32 S&W Long, 98 gr. LRN $17.00
1 20Rd box Federal Classic, .32 H&R Mag. 95 gr. Lead SWC $8.95

The .32 H&R Mag is what I started out to
find. The one box of 20 rounds which I did
find was really marked low, probably because
it had been in stock a long time. The .32 S&W
Long will do the job for target practice though.
The above represents all the ammo that I could
find in my search and of course I bought all that
I found.

I do hope that all are starting to see the great
fluctuation of prices and what is available and
what is not.

I have kids so I do want it locked up and I also don't have all that much space in the closet for a huge stockpile. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Two choices, the military ammo cans are great... and unless your kid is 6+ years old and even then they migth have touble opening the lid on a 50 cal can.. at that age they should know better than to eat the stuff anyway

If you are the overly paranoid type, just buy tools boxes at walmart that accept a pad lock on the front.

I went to Freebirds for dinner and stopped by Walmart on the way home. I picked up more ammo.

4 boxes of CCI Blazer Brass .40 at $7.57 each
2 boxes of CCI Blazer Brass .45 at $9.48 each

I now have 2 cases and a few boxes of .40, one and a half cases of .45, and a case of 9mm. A case is 20 boxes.

What! Today the eagle lays eggs (1st
of the month) and no one has bought
a box of ammo.

OOPS! propellerhead did.

WTF, the .40 Blazer Brass is 9.97 at Wal-Mart here and I can't find it at any store close to me.

I bought four boxes of 100rd WWB at Wal-Mart on Monday for $21.88/ea.
