I just stepped in it and had to share with SOMEONE! (I tried my wife and she just shrugged her shoulders and gave me that "yeah...so?" look over her glasses)
Stopped at one of my local haunts on Saturday to procure my despair of paying too much for ammo that I have to have. Shuffled with shoulders slumped to the big bore handgun ammo shelf to seal my depression and empty my bank account for 1 lousy box of Speer GD 270 soft point .44 Magnum. To my surprise, the shelf was chock full of both 200 grain hollow points as well as my sought after 270 SP's. Wow...guess I'll be able to grab a box after all. Picked one up and turned it over - $15 even!!! Holy Heart Attack!!! I swiveled my head around like I had just discovered gold! "Does anybody else know this is here"?!
I quick snapped up 4 boxes and scurried to the counter before someone could slap me on the back and say "Ha-Ha..Just kidding. Hand 'em over".
The kid at the register (they're all kids to me these days) said "oohh, BIG bore huh". I said "umm...yup. Here's my card, I'm kinda in a hurry? (still worried someone would tell me it's all a big joke). Ker-ching.
Out I went!
Like I said, I giddily showed my wife my big find. She thinks I'm losin' it...I think.

Had to share with a sympathetic crowd guys.

SCORE! Congrats.

I've gotten lucky a couple of times with new old stock at stores.

My X would never understand my glee either. She gone, my dogs are happy for me.

I know the guilt you are feeling. I can help with that. Out of the goodness of my Lilly white heart I'll allow you to send them to me to be destroyed one piece at a time....no don't thank me.

Just e-mail me for my address. In order to complete your cleansing you'll need to pay shipping also. Go and sin no more!

I would have bought the whole shelfful if'n I had no restraint what-so-ever! Mastercard can be such a tempting outlet!

Kng;
I simply could not live with myself if I was to tempt you into collaboration of my world of sin. However, send me $60 and your personal choice of lusty .44 caliber iron and I will gladly purchase 4 more boxes of the devilish fodder and dispose of it myself, thereby saving your very soul!!!

Renster,Know the feeling. A few days ago I went on line to Widners to get some Nosler patition bullets for my 454 because they are being discontinued. I just happen to go to the primer section and the only ones in stock were CCI 350 mag pistol primers. I figured it was a mistake but I ordered 2 boxes (2000). I was shocked when I recieved my partition bullets and 2000 new CCi mag primers.James

I got some 356 Winchester from widner on a close out the other day.

I still need a few rifle bullets but other than that I am good

356 Winchester!

How much were those on close out?!
