Hi Guys
Please have a look at https://www.bulkcheapammo.com
We are working on this website to get more information and make it easy to find ammo online.
We are listing the ammo from various online ammo retailers. We are adding new ammo retailers. Some top retailers added like Outdoor Limited, Target Sports USA, Ammo Fast, Foundry outdoors and many more.
We are looking for suggestions to make this website better to find ammo and make user experience better.
Thank you.

Perhaps this thread could be on the wrong planet?
Apparently. I was thinking Flobert, not parabellum, 9X19, Luger or even Corto, 9X18 or 9X17. While we’re off in the weeds I did shoot my .380ACP (9mm Corto or 9X17) today. Rather boring bit of social equipment but it needed the lint blown out.

The range where I mostly shoot opened last week. Plan to go tomorrow. No Winchester this time but a new bolt action that needs a barrel break in per the manufacturer’s specifications. 50 rounds mostly wasted in my opinion. Maybe I will take a Winchester that I need to fire form some cases.

I’ve heard of different procedures for doing that, & though they “sound” plausible, I’m skeptical that comparative tests of “broke-in” vs. “non-broke-in” have ever been made, because that would require a LOT of shooting not just of two rifles, but of several of each category to average out inherent differences in each brl.
However, it is quite true, & has been proven by tests carried out by the US Army, which had time, manpower, & ammo to spare, that barrels reach a peak of accuracy after a few thousand jacketed bullets have been fired, then slowly decline.

Light grey or darker gray lint? One is better for accuracy. Don’t ask me how I know!

Military break in procedure is even worse. Some break in is probably good but after about a dozen rounds that’s enough for me. Luckily I got 4 boxes of cheap ammo. My precision target gun required no break in.

A carefully rifled, finely polished, etc., bore requires no break-in, the purpose of which is to smooth out the irregularities of mass-produced brls. Never heard of “military” break-in.

Light. I wear mostly jeans. Spare mag was almost unserviceable. Needed disassembly and fresh ammo today. Could have been embarrassing, to say the least. Accuracy was acceptable, quite good for a pocket pistol. The occasional bit of lint floating around was a bit distracting but I managed to keep them all in the bull. 😉

Sounds as if the Universe and the Shooting Gods were pulling for you…”Light”…You are a lucky fellow. Good work, Mike.
Hey! I was wondering, You wouldn’t happen to know where a fellow on The Winchester Arms Collectors’ Association forum could find a truckload of 9mm bulk, cheap, ammo for a .38-55?

Well…..not exactly a truckload, not exactly 9mm, certainly not cheap, in bulk or for sale but yes, I do keep some 38-55 ammo around.
