    For the most part, I think steel-cased ammo gets a bad rap. I shoot it in pretty much everything I have and I've never had any more problems with steel than I have with brass. If it's cheap, I'll buy it and shoot it.

    ETA: Forgot... I had a Mini-30 that wouldn't shoot military steel stuff apparently because the primers were too hard. It would shoot some fine...like Silver Bear. It was pretty ammo finicky. I sold it.

    I've had two stuck cases with steel stuff in ARs. Keeping things wet tends to alleviate the problem.

    Just saw this on another community forum if anyone's interested:

    Didn't seem like a bad deal to me considering.

    Sometime last year, as part of a broader conversation, my wife asked me, "So how much ammo do we have?" My reply, "Enough." Which of course is a lie because you can't have too much, as long as you are ambulatory. But I haven't felt a need to rush out and buy more. Same with TP.

We are talking about products which are not necessary for life such as insulin or an Epipen. The price of gasoline rises and falls, gold rises and falls, and real estate is at an ridiculous level in Colorado. I'm embarrassed by many of the posts and outrageous statements, many made by lour long time forum members. Many people were did not have the insight as some of you and they didn't create a stock pile of ammo while the prices were low and they should be free to make a decision and decide if they want to pay the current prices that ammo. Why are members of this forum speaking poorly and embarrassing our own loyal members? You are free to pass if you don't want to pay higher prices, knowing you were smart enough to stock up while prices were surprisingly low. People are afraid and many are changing and entering the community of firearm ownership for the first time and they are paying a higher price for their guns and ammunition. Gun owners should be happy that our membership is expanding and not attacking our own members. We should all be supporting each other and stick together as firearm owners and forum members. Some of you should be ashamed for your posts and disrespectful comments.
    Yes.

    I'm still waiting for someone to list the ever-changing 'approved prices' for each popular caliber so that if I decide to sell on the forum, I do not get labeled as a price gouger as my for sale post disappears. Otherwise, it's just not worth the risk.

    Just list it 10-25% lower than what Sportsmans/Cabelas is selling it for. They don't gouge like ctd does.
    Looks like that is even high for unpopular 40sw.
