Would getting these factory reloads be a good idea? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

The price seems to be right, but I have heard people talking about never getting factory reloads.

Thing is, money is very tight right now and I am desperately looking for a good deal on these things. I know personal re-loading is the best way to go, but due to time and money constraits at the current moment, it is not an option for me.

Any ideas? Yes? No? Blow my gun/face up stories will help if I shouldn't do this. Thank's all, here is the link:

P.s. With shipping included, it came out close to Wallmart's price plus tax out the door. The thing is, my Wallmart was out the last couple of times I was there. What I am really wondering then is would this be a good alternative to Wallmart to stock my reserves up. Plus being able to buy a couple thousand at a time is more convienient than trying to do the same at Wallmart where both their inventory would probably not allow it and the bewildered stares of everyone would make it a pain.

cabelas sells bulk remanafactured ammo, they also give you these dry storage boxes as part of the deal. I have a couple of these boxes they are real nice for storage of anything. Havent done any calculations to see how economical it is to walmart or buyammo. I know the 9mm is a bit more expensive than walmart. However I was able to buy 500 rounds of speer gold dot 9mm JHPs for surprisingly cheap, and it came with 2 dry boxes. Might be another option.

Considering after shipping it's basically the same price as wally world, I'd pass. Why get reloads when you can get BRAND NEW cartridges for the same price? Then, make sure you're collecting all your brass and start reloading when the time and money are more available.

I'm sure there's a ton of Wal-Mart's in cali, next time your passing by a different one, check them out. I know most of them by me carry at least 20 boxes of 9mm WWB.

cabelas has free shipping on orders placed before june 23rd on purchases $150 and up, every little hit helps:
promotion code: 68FREE

however 9mm is still a lot cheaper at my walmart for WWB, unless I needed those boxes, which I dont
