Handgun Ammo in NOVA

If anyone is looking for ammo in a whole variety of calibers, manufacturers, and quality, Dicks in Manassas is the place to go. I just picked up 4 boxes of .45ACP and the guy mentioned he has a ton more. $20 a box for Remington. Not the cleanest powder in my Kimber, but Ill sacrifice.

I know some people have been looking for .40 as well, I saw at least one full shelf of several makes.

Remington 45Auto 04770? 06780
Remington 30-06 04770 05460

Those are the two calibers I got today. The Walmart in Manassas caught me off guard with 06 actually in stock, but it was only $18. Got some real sweet 150gr to shoot out of my M1

You guys are killing me.:shock:

I shot 600 rounds this week and I doubt I have more than $20.00 in it all.

The ammo at Dick's is really overpriced. I pay $4.75 per box for the same Wolf .223 that is $9.99 per box at Dick's.

I find that $20 a box for 45ACP is cheaper than $25+ at the range. So, even my limited and horrible math skills prove that my college fund doesnt disappear when I go to the range more than once a month.

I pay $15 a box for Wolf .45, and I shoot that in my Kimber. I can't pay $20 a box with my college funds.

Oh god no... You put Wolf in a Kimber? :O

Totally curious though, every bit of WOLF 45ACP Ive seen has been made with steel cases that kill your chamber by marring and getting stuck. Now this is totally only what I have heard. I did find some WOLF back in August that was like $25 a box, but it was a haggard steel case.

Btw, youre up at Mason now arent you?

Wolf is the only ammo I have ever shot through my Kimber. I've probably shot about 700 rounds. No problems at all.

Yep, I'll be starting at Mason on the 19th.

Maybe Ill see you around sometime up there. I have a break here and there between classes.

I typically shoot American Eagle when I have the option, it burns the best in mine. I shoot a 5" though. Remington is decent, but thats as low as I go in quality really. I carry Federal Hydrashoks for my carry ammo and have put a few through the gun for function check. I would be very nervous about shooting wolf though. Ive heard a lot about the ammo not being loaded hot enough and slugs getting stuck in the barrel. Once again, just what Ive heard. Im glad you have had good luck with it though.

I'm sure I'll run into both of you eventually. I should have met up with nova by now either at an OC dinner or VCDL meeting, but every time I say I'm going I end up having something else come up at the last minute.

Maybe we can all get together up there in Fairfax or somewhere right before school. Mini OC lunch if you want. Even if everyone just wants to get some coffee. Im in Haymarket, so Im not too much further than you

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I've been to Haymarket about five times in the last week. My cousin just moved out there.

Now all we need to do is get nova out here to PWC

Where did your cousin move to?

I still give it a :? kinda look when I see it. Like I said though, Im glad you do really well with it. My job allows me a little leeway to shoot more around the holidays. People need to buy the coke to mix with their rum ya know...
