You probably saw a couple of months ago where Walmart announced they wouldn't be selling pistol ammunition.  I had been watching and while there had been some markdowns there wasn't any price that couldn't be beat with bulk buying and in particular with Black Friday Specials and rebates happening. 
That changed as it has now dropped to 50% off today, or at least it did at the Ft. Henry Drive Kingsport location.  I was actually alerted to it by the clerk as I came up to check on prices.  It was it won't last long if all the sporting goods clerks are that proactive in letting folks know, but you may be able to snag a deal or too.  I couldn't pass up 9mm Rem UMC 250 rd mega packs for $25.  It was also a good excuse to buy some premium self defense ammo at a great price. 
The earlier discounts had thinned some of the variety down, but it seemed that every common caliber still had something on the shelf.  I don't know if this is system wide or just a single store, but its worth checking if you need more ammo.

I do not reload so looking for some ideas for this project. I need 25 .45 Long Colts for display in Cowboy belt.after talking to some Cowboy shooters they say
Nickel ammo ,new or cleaned with no primer.  Brass will tarnish on leather.
Round nose lead,250 grain or so..
How would I crimp with no reloader?
Tried David and several vendors at gun shows,no luck.
Thanks

What is causing this and how do I fix it?  
I'm using a Dillon 550.  Seating die in station 3 only seats the bullet.  I have a Lee Factory Crimp die in station 4.   Everything is perfect until the 4th station where I feel the case buckle.  I reseated the crimp die.  I put a good round in there, raise a dummy round and screw in the die until it makes contact.  Lower the dummy round and turn in 1/4 of a turn.  I raise it up, no issue; very slight crimp but not enough to hold the bullet well (I'm able to push hard and lower the bullet).  I screw in the crimp die 1/8 of a turn; and what you see below is what I get.  I've tried several cases including new never fired cases. 
I must have loaded several thousand rounds of 223 by now and this is the first I've seen this.  I did not make any drastic changes.  In fact, prior to this, I was had loaded about 20 perfect rounds.
