Ammo sale FYI!

[GlennRoss]

Hey guys,

Just back from a week of intense Army training. Much fun, seriously improved my markamanship thru lots and lots of shooting and evaluation. I think I got it that in order to become a good shooter you gotta go out and shoot. That's expensive for some of us I know. The rounds for my 300 win mag R1 average $1-1.50 apiece!

To that end I found out that Bass Pro shops is having a 61% off several varities and calibre's of Federal Premiium ammo. Every box is $12.49 regardless of regular price. I just ordered 10 boxes of 300 WinMag Nosler partion 180 grain. More than half off. I do not know how long they'll have the sale but get there and get some so you cn go out and get good with your rifle.

Here's the link:

Hope this is useful for some of you!

Thanks!
I just ordered some 165 grain 30-06. I've been meaning to try them in my R1.
Can't beat the prices.
Hopefully, I'll get them before this weekend and can try them before I go under the knife.

Garren,

Thanks for the info about the Hornady's and the web link! That's a nice grouping in the center.

I do need to mention that you are off about the v-shocks. Not all v-shock are High Energy -- In fact the rounds I ordered are not HE. Here's the link to the Federal website regarding 300 WM v-shock nosler partitions. It clearly shows them availible in non-HE and HE. You're right though, people need to double check and make sure they are not HE.

Let me know if you find me to be inaccurate about the Federal info.

Garren,

LOL, the link you gave for the Natchez was a bit off also. It's not natchez.com -- that takes you to some carribean country's work-in-progress web site.

The correct link is:
http://www.natchezss.com/

Garren,

I have a box in my hands. It just arrived from back order on the 10/12. This one says "300 WIN. MAG. 180 GRAIN NOSLER PARTITION P300WD2". It says nothing about High Energy which is clearly indicated on the HE box. Some of the v-shocks are high energy, just not the ones I ordered.

It is a nice round. Nickle palted case, flattened lead tip nose. Should more than do the trick for shooting practice.

BTW, my new order of 10 boxes is on back order also :( But cheap, cheap, cheap at the price.

I won't be shooting my R1 for a while after this weekend.

...and in case any of you feckers read this and assume I'm some old and busted feeble old man, you are wrong.

I have a genetic pre-disposition to early (46) heart disease, and as soon as this problem is fixed, I'll be back kicking your arses in the blinds and on the range! :cool:

[garren]

I know you aren’t an old f..t. I figured it out long time ago smile.gif
I wish you good luck and a very fast recovery. Surgeons here are real aces and their diagnostic equipment best of all. Get well soon! We will shoot someday together.

[tucker301]

Thanks, garren.
I look forward to it.

I'm considering one of these for late deer season this year. Keeps the Umphh off the shoulder.
