Have $250 to Cabela's thru work rewards. (Suppose I could use it on home depot or clothes/pet crap.) I'm looking for suggestions on how to make the most of my money at Cabela's. I may try ordering my sks stock online thru them finally, or some other odds and ends I need. Or just use it to pay the premium price they want for a versamax. Any ideas other than ammo that is a better bang for buck there?

As far as ammo, I havn't been paying attention to what folks were saying about different stuff.

Any votes between 55g FMJ American Eagle Vs PMC Bronze? One have better cases than the other for reloading? Identical price. Or UMC for 3c/round cheaper.

Everyone still like Hornady Steel Match BTHP's? Box I bought a few years back seemed popular as fairly high end target/varmit/coyote ammo on the cheap. Reputation still good? (.50 cents a round, not plinking ammo, but decent price to load up on for light hunting/paper target showoff/leave loaded for @ home?)

Is there any commercial (IE @ cabelas) remanufactured .223 or 9mm that is actually good savings/quality/possibly worth saving for reloading? I know theres a few companies out there we did the group buys from and another one that's been popular but I forget the name, but I doubt cabelas would have them.


Any recommendations for bulk 12g for my 930/KSG/future versamax? Does everyone for fooling around stick to birdshot, or go in between with like turkey loads, or just swallow price of buckshot? Buck seems .75/rnd except for some herters buck for .55?
