    Hey deemus if you need 30-30, let me know Ill get you some if I see them again at the academy in Sherman $21 a box is a damn good price today

    I load those for myself. I just noted it because there have been quite a few on here looking for it. Just trying to help out a brother.

    Here is a 125g flat HP I load. Devastating on pretty much everything I have shot with it.

    Went by Academy this morning.
    Very little 22LR. They had a bunch of that black box Norma stuff that nobody is buying.
    Plenty of 380, 9mm, 45, 223, 308. Some 30-30. And somethingI hadn’t seen in ages. 7.62x54R. No 10mm, 38, or 357, 44mag.
    Modest amount of shotshells. Mostly 12ga.


    Cabelas in Allen had thousands of rounds of 10mm on Saturday. Have not seen any at all lately, then a huge stack. Weird.

    I've got some in my closet, tested 5fps slower than WWB .40, in a side by side test.
    Yea you have to shop for certain brands (I forget which ones but I am looking that up right now) and really should be using a 6" barrel to get the most velocity. I think anything north of 1300 fps is "true 10mm" speeds right?

    Academy on HWY 6 in Houston had more .30-30 on the shelf than I’ve seen in a loooong time. Maybe 30, 35 boxes. They had a single box of .38 special, which I promptly liberated from the shelf. Also they had 9mm JHP, which I haven’t seen in almost two years.

    Gunz are icky.
    Was in San Antonio this past weekend. Visited two Academy stores. Looking for .22lr.
    No .22lr love but I did see some SIG 10mm HP on the shelves. $26 for twenty rds but there it was.
    Haven’t seen 10mm at Academy in ages.

    At current prices I should remove my 10mm pistols from the safe and store the ammo in the safe.
